... but adding static functions without users will cause a compile
error anyway, so I'd suggest to just merge it into the patch adding
users.

But I wonder if we really want to duplicate all this logic anyway.
If we passed a bio_vec array, the vec count and an iter, we should
be able to just share the logic with the bio data payload.
