That ship already sailed. I over-trimmed this line:

- bitmap_zero(iop->uptodate, PAGE_SIZE / SECTOR_SIZE);

Looks like Christoph changed his mind sometime between that message
and the first commit: 9dc55f1389f9569acf9659e58dd836a9c70df217

My THP patches convert the bit array to be per-block rather than
per-sector, so this is all going to go away soon ;-)
