Can we please finish the previous big API transitions before starting
yet another one?  We still have 10 callers if iov_iter_get_pages2 and
of iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2 that need conversion to
iov_iter_extract_pages.  Except for the legacy direct I/O code they
should be easy _and_ largerly overlap what this series touches.

I'll gladly take on direct-io.c.
