I agree with the problem statement.  OTOH adding an exported helper
for two trivial assignments seems a little silly..

For now I'll just keep the open coded ->io_pages assignment in
dm.  Note that dm doesn't currently update the ->ra_pages value
based on the underlying devices, so an incremental patch to do that
might be useful as well.
