Introduces a new 'uio_meta' structure that upper layer can
use to pass the meta/integrity information. This is a prep patch.

Everything else in the kernel uses app_tag instead of apptag, maybe

What flags go into flags?  Should this be a __bitwise type?
Also bio.h is used by every file system and all block drivers.
Should this be in bio-integrity.h instead?
