The block layer spends quite a while in blkdev_direct_IO() to copy and initialise bio's bvec. However, if we've already got a bvec in the input iterator it might be reused in some cases, i.e. when new ITER_BVEC_FLAG_FIXED flag is set. Simple tests show considerable performance boost, and it also reduces memory footprint.
