Would it make sense to change the bio_add_page() and bio_add_pc_page()
to use the more common convention instead of continuing the spread of
this non-standard calling convention? This is doubly problematic since
"off" and "len" are both unsigned int values so it is easy to get them
mixed up, and just reordering the bio_add_page() arguments would not
generate any errors.
One option would be to rename this function bio_page_add() so there are
build errors or first add bio_page_add() and mark bio_add_page()
deprecated and allow some short time for transition? There are about
50 uses under drivers/ and 50 uses under fs/.
Cheers, Andreas
