You should see the recent discussion in which Jens doesn't agree on
renaming bvec helper name, so the previous patch of 'block: rename bvec helpers'
has to be dropped, and we have to find a new name for multi-page bvec
helpers.

Jens mentioned we can do the rename in next release after the whole
patchset is merged first, then I think mp_bvec_* should be fine since
its life time is short.

Or do you other suggestion?

Thanks,
Ming
