I think this patch can be split into two but it's no big deal.

How about something like...

struct bio_iterator {
	int i;
	struct bio_vec tmp_bvec;
	/* might put bio here too? */
};

#define bio_for_each_segment(bvl, bio, i)				\
	for (bvl = bio_iter_init(&i, bio); i.i < (bio)->bi_vcnt;	\
	     bvl = bio_iter_next(&i, bio))

[static inline] struct bio_vec *bio_iter_init(struct bio_iterator *i,
					      struct bio *bio)
{
	i->i = 0;

	if (no further restrictions)
		return bio_iovec_idx(bio, 0);
	else {
		i->tmp_bvec = *bio_iovec_idx(bio, 0);
		apply restriction;
		return &i->tmp_bvec;
	}
}

[static inline] struct bio_vec *bio_iter_next(struct bio_iterator *i,
					      struct bio *bio)
{
	i->i++;

	if (no further restriction)
		return bio_iovec_idx(bio, i->i);
	else {
		i->tmp_bvec = *bio_iovec_idx(bio, i->i);
		apply restriction;
		return &i->tmp_bvec;
	}
}
