Unfortunately we do need splitting after __map_bio() because a dm
target's ->map can use dm_accept_partial_bio() to further reduce a
bio's mapped part.

But I think dm_accept_partial_bio() could be trained to update
tio->io->sectors?

dm_accept_partial_bio() has been around for a long time, it keeps
growing BUG_ONs that are actually helpful to narrow its use to "normal
IO", so it should be OK.

Running 'make check' in a built cryptsetup source tree should be a
good test for DM target interface functionality.

But there aren't automated tests for IO accounting correctness yet.
