Hello,

I said make_request based drivers, that is drivers taking bios.
Right.  Gees, it's confusing.
These get bios directly from __generic_make_request and need to deal
with REQ_FLUSH/FUA themselves.  We have quite a few more than just
dm/md of this kind:

arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c
drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c
drivers/block/brd.c
I'll try to convert these three.
drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c
I'd rather leave drbd to its maintainers.
drivers/block/loop.c
Already converted.
drivers/block/pktcdvd.c
drivers/block/ps3vram.c
drivers/block/umem.c
drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c
drivers/s390/block/xpram.c
drivers/staging/zram/zram_drv.c
Will work on these.

Thanks.
