  • With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the
    submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints
    to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they
    manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just
    unplug at will.

  • Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
    This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
    down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
    missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
    renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

    Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
    blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.
