This patch introduces new variable under bio structure to

Hard no on this, for two reasons:

1) Any additions to struct bio are scrutinized heavily and
   need strong justification.

2) Without an actual use case, any change is always denied.
   This is just a stand-alone patch.

On top of that, you have it inside BLK_CGROUP, which is
probably not what you want.
