A ZONE_APPEND bio must follow hardware restrictions (e.g. not exceeding max_zone_append_sectors) not to be split. bio_iov_iter_get_pages builds such restricted bio using __bio_iov_append_get_pages if bio_op(bio) == REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND. To utilize it, we need to set the bio_op before calling bio_iov_iter_get_pages(). This commit introduces IOMAP_F_ZONE_APPEND, so that iomap user can set the flag to indicate they want REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND and restricted bio. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
