block: Allow mapping of vmalloc-ed buffers
To allow the SCSI subsystem scsi_execute_req() function to issue
requests using large buffers that are better allocated with vmalloc()
rather than kmalloc(), modify bio_map_kern() to allow passing a buffer
allocated with vmalloc().
To do so, detect vmalloc-ed buffers using is_vmalloc_addr(). For
vmalloc-ed buffers, flush the buffer using flush_kernel_vmap_range(),
use vmalloc_to_page() instead of virt_to_page() to obtain the pages of
the buffer, and invalidate the buffer addresses with
invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() on completion of read BIOs. This last
point is executed using the function bio_invalidate_vmalloc_pages()
which is defined only if the architecture defines
ARCH_HAS_FLUSH_KERNEL_DCACHE_PAGE, that is, if the architecture
actually needs the invalidation done.
