You had me up until this last patch.

I'm actually making use of iov_iter_is_aligned() in a series of
changes for both NFS and NFSD.  Chuck has included some of the
NFSD changes in his nfsd-testing branch, see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/commit/?h=nfsd-testing&id=5d78ac1e674b45f9c9e3769b48efb27c44f4e4d3

And the balance of my work that is pending review/inclusion is:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20250731230633.89983-1-snitzer@kernel.org/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20250801171049.94235-1-snitzer@kernel.org/

I only need iov_iter_aligned_bvec, but recall I want to relax its
checking with this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20250708160619.64800-5-snitzer@kernel.org/

Should I just add iov_iter_aligned_bvec() to fs/nfs_common/ so that
both NFS and NFSD can use it?

Thanks,
Mike
