Hmm?

1) exofs builds bios by hand.
2) exofs passes bio to OSD SCSI ULD.

As a result, exofs and OSD SCSI ULD need to know the internal of bio,
that is, you reinvent the bio handling infrastructure, as pointed out
in another thread in scsi-ml.

_bio_map_pages is called where the VFS passes an array of a pointer to
a page frame.

Why can't you simply pass the array to OSD SCSI ULD? Then OSD SCSI ULD
can use the block layer helper functions to build a request out of
pages without knowing the internal of bio.
