Of course not.  Nothing I said stops endio from being called in the
usual way as well.  For this to work, endio just needs to know that
one call means "end" and the other means "destroy", this is
trivial.

Sorry Daniel, but your suggestions would do nothing more than uglify
the code and design.

Pretty much exactly what was said about shrinking struct page, ask Bill.  
The difference was, shrinking struct page actually mattered whereas 
shrinking struct bio does not, and neither does expanding it by a few 
bytes.
