I'd rather see this merged with the last one (and patch 3 dropped as it just gets removed entirely in 4) - that fixes all the issues together and doesn't require your patch 1 as as a workaround first.
Patch 1 isn't a workaround, which is needed for stable tree, and the other fixes won't work without patch 1.
However, we may revert patch 1 for 5.1 in which multi-page bvec is supported.
Lets do it another way around - put the proper fix into 5.1-rc and only apply patch 1 for stable. No need to put something in and immediately revert it.
