Can we drop the "fv_" variable prefix here? It's just unnecessary
verbosity when we know we have a folio_vec structure. i.e fv->folio
is easier to read and type than fv->fv_folio...

Hmmm, this is probably not a good name considering "struct pagevec" is
something completely different - the equivalent is "struct
folio_batch" but I can see this being confusing for people who
largely expect some symmetry between page<->folio naming
conventions...

Also, why is this in bio.h and not in a mm/folio related header
file?

Cheers,

Dave.
