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.
