Yes, __bio_add_page would look nicer. But bio_add_page can merge adjacent 
pages into a single bvec entry and __bio_add_page can't (I don't know how 
often the merging happens or what is the performance implication of 
non-merging).

I think that for the next merge window, we can apply this patch: 
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2023-May/054046.html
which makes this discussion irrelevant. (you can change bio_add_page to 
__bio_add_page in it)
