Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

But the first approach was used on Friday (and is adequate considering
we're starting with the bio's bi_sector).  The new commit id is
1c5a63b138638d08f4dc65ed48d3d5d3bad1b08b.

The moral of the story is: don't make a mistake on Thursday because that
last linux-next of the week will plague you for the next 5 days.  I was
hoping for relief with Monday's linux-next build but alas... ;)
