Comparing moved data against backup I found exactly one corrupt file
(out of about 1.4 million), despite thousands of those "bio too big"
messages. Also, I found one "buffer I/O error" in the logs. So I suspect
the "bio too big" messages probably did not cause data corruption at all
(even  though the earlier bug causing same message reportedly did). So
it would be less bad than I originally thought.

Also, I have been unable to reproduce the error with smaller dataset and
can't easily recreate the original situation or even one of almost same
size anymore, unless I buy more disks. I may do that ahead of schedule
just to retest this, but at the moment I can't test if mainline kernel
would've made a difference.
