Today, storage devices like eMMC has special features like data tagging
(introduced in MMC-4.5 version) in order to improve performance of some
specific writes. On MMC stack, data tagging is used for all writes which
has REQ_META flag set. This patch adds the capability to add REQ_META flag
during meta data write.

Presumably you're doing this to get better performance for some
workload, yes?  Could you please let us know what workloads you tested
and how this patch set helps?  In other words, what benchmarking did you
perform and what were the results?  Do you expect this to make some
other workloads perform worse?

Cheers,
