Does "cookie" refer to the SCSI ROD token? Storing the ROD token in the
REQ_OP_COPY_DST bio implies that the REQ_OP_COPY_DST bio is only
submitted after the REQ_OP_COPY_SRC bio has completed. NVMe users may
prefer that REQ_OP_COPY_SRC and REQ_OP_COPY_DST bios are submitted
simultaneously.

Thanks,

Bart.
