memcpy can take a large amount of time for small reads and writes.
For virtio it is a common case that the first iovec can satisfy the
whole read or write. In that case, and if bytes is a constant to
avoid excessive growth of code, inline the first iteration
into the caller.

The iov_discard_front/back() functions remove data from the front or
back of the vector. This is useful when peeling off header/footer
structs.
