Passthrough commands that utilize metadata currently need to bounce the user space buffer through the kernel. Add support for mapping user space directly so that we can avoid this costly overhead. This is similar to how the normal bio data payload utilizes user addresses with bio_map_user_iov(). If the user address can't directly be used for reason, like too many segments or address unalignement, fallback to a copy of the user vec while keeping the user address pinned for the IO duration so that it can safely be copied on completion in any process context.

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.
