Both unit_max and unit_min are applied to FS bio, which is built over
single userspace buffer, so only the 1st and last vector can include
partial page, and the other vectors should always cover whole page,
then the minimal size could be:

	(max_segments - 2) * PAGE_SIZE + 2 * queue_logical_block_size(q)
