This patch series says "Block Cleanups" in the subject. I think that
it can be divided in two parts. First part seems to be cleanup where
we get rid of ->bi_destructor and merge kmalloc() and allocation 
from bio_set.

Second part seems to be more of enhancing bio splitting functionality
and not necessarily a cleanup. So may be breaking this series in two
parts makes sense. First part is cleanup and second part is enhanced
bio splitting capabilities of block layer.

Yeah, that's a good idea - will do.
