DO_UPCAST() is poorly named, and I've been trying to reduce its use in
the tree; can we use container_of() instead?

Are we ever going to want to pass flags (such as BDRV_REQ_FUA) on to
blk_aio_pwritev(), which would imply a flags argument to
scsi_dma_writev()?  But it doesn't have to happen now, so it's not
holding up my review.
