This new helper returns the total number of bytes covered by
a vringh_kiov.

Do we really need an helper?

For instance, we can use:

len = iov_length((struct iovec *)kiov->iov, kiov->used);

Or do we want to avoid the cast?

Thanks,
Laurent

Yes, that should be fine. If we want, I can remove the helper and use 
iov_length() directly. I thought vringh wanted to hide iovec from users 
though.

Anyway talking to Jason, as a long term solution we should reconsider 
vringh and support iov_iter.

Thanks,
Stefano
