Gcc warning seems over the top here, but when then the coding guideline should
be meet:

switch (rw) {
[..]

On the other hand, rq_data_dir() *could* be simplified to:

#define rq_data_dir(rq)         (((rq)->cmd_flags & 1)

Or just re-code the construct into a if else construct.

if (rw == READ) {
[...]
} else {
[...]
}

The default branch is superfluous anyway here.
