By switching 'mempool_t *' to 'mempool_t' and 'bio_set *' to 'bio_set'
you've altered the alignment of members in data structures.  So I'll
need to audit all the data structures you've modified in DM.

Could we get the backstory on _why_ you're making this change?
Would go a long way to helping me appreciate why this is a good use of
anyone's time.

Thanks,
Mike
