Even pages with continious virtual addresses may not be merged in one bio vector in bio_add_page -> bvec_try_merge_page. So it looks like the best estimate on the number of required bios we can make is a total number of pages in the request divided by BIO_MAX_VECS (worst case is when each of BIO_MAX_VECS bio vectors has exactly one page added to it).
