Subject[patch 13/32] dm io: respect BIO_MAX_PAGES limit
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

commit d659e6cc98766a1a61d6bdd283f95d149abd7719 upstream.

dm-io calls bio_get_nr_vecs to get the maximum number of pages to use
for a given device. It allocates one additional bio_vec to use
internally but failed to respect BIO_MAX_PAGES, so fix this.

This was the likely cause of:
