bio_clone() is an existing api, I agree but I'd prefer to convert
existing users in a separate patch and when I do that I want to spend
some time actually looking at the existing code instead of doing the
conversion blindly (at least some of the existing users are incorrect
and I'll have to add bio_sets for them).
