As for_each_bvec() assigns __start to bi, and you don't need __start
afterwards, both variables can be merged into a single one.
But perhaps that would make too many assumptions about the
implementation of for_each_bvec()?

I don't understand the code well enough to see why the call to
xs_flush_bvec() is needed in this branch only, but it does fix TCP
NFS on RBTX4927, so
