Have you considered to convert all block drivers to the new

have plans to start working on this? I'm namely wondering wheter I

Hi Bart,

I'd love to have all drivers move of using .special (and thus reducing
request size further).  I think the general way to do that is to convert
them to blk-mq and not using the legacy cmd_size field.
