There are a few pieces of future work on top of this I'd rather see
sooner than later though:
- use REQ_OP_FLUSH for all empty flushes, including those at the bio
level.
- merge the req->cmd_type values into req->op. Right now that's
basically only a new REQ_OP_BLOCK_PC (or better REQ_OP_SCSI while
we're at it) and a REQ_OP_DRV_PRIV as the last value.
- drop as many of the crazy defines based on REQ_* in fs.h (e.g.
(READ_SYNC, WRITE_SYNC, WRITE_ODIRECT, WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA,
WRITE_FLUSH_FUA, RW_MASK, RWA_MASK)
