I only looked at the core change you proposed for passing in the
bio as well, and Omar fixed up the icq exit part and I also applied
that patch. I haven't look at any of the bfq-mq patches at all yet.
Not sure what I can do with those, I don't think those are
particularly useful to anyone but you.

Might make more sense to post the conversion for review as a
