Use a single ITER_XARRAY iterator to describe the portion of a file to be
transmitted to the server rather than generating a series of small
ITER_BVEC iterators on the fly.  This will make it easier to implement AIO
in afs.

In theory we could maybe use one giant ITER_BVEC, but that means
potentially allocating a huge array of bio_vec structs (max 256 per page)
when in fact the pagecache already has a structure listing all the relevant
pages (radix_tree/xarray) that can be walked over.
