Well, I've spend a good chunk of time reading round this part of
the kernel's interfaces without spotting it so another note somewhere
can't help.

You can submit a patch for it.
If you don't, I'll put it in my todo queue.

If I find an approriate place to put such a note I'll add it and
submit a patch, but I'm not sure where to put it , atm.

Any suggestions?

Hm, I looked thru fs/bio.c and block/*.c and Documentation/Docbook/*.tmpl.
The best place that I see to put it right now is in
include/linux/bio.h, struct bio, field: bi_sector.

What do you think of that?
