I think it probably is a good idea to put a comment here so that we
know that certain elements of structure assume ordering.

Also I am wondering that what's the gurantee that there are no padding
bytes between bipi1 and iv1 (or bip2 or iv2). I think if there are padding
bytes then the assumption that bio_vec is always following bip will be
broken?

Also had a general question about split logic. We seem to have only one
global pool for bio pair (bio_split_pool). So in the IO stack if we split
a bio more than once, we have the deadlock possibility again?

Thanks
