I think something that would help is removing the mandatory 'i' parameter
to this iterator.  Most of the users don't use it, and the ones that do
can implement it themselves.  eg:


                int j;
                struct bio_vec *bv;
                void *base = (void *) ((unsigned long) i & ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1));
                struct bvec_iter_all iter_all;

                bio_for_each_segment_all(bv, b->bio, j, iter_all)
                        memcpy(page_address(bv->bv_page),
                               base + j * PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE);

could become

                struct bio_vec *bv;
                void *addr = (void *) ((unsigned long) i & ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1));
                struct bvec_iter_all iter_all;

                bio_for_each_segment_all(bv, b->bio, iter_all) {
                        memcpy(page_address(bv->bv_page), addr, PAGE_SIZE);
			addr += PAGE_SIZE;
		}

eg2:

                bio_for_each_segment_all(bi, sbio, j, iter_all)
                        page_len[j] = bi->bv_len;

could become:
                bio_for_each_segment_all(bi, sbio, iter_all)
                        page_len[j++] = bi->bv_len;
