I think we can simplify this a bit by reordering the checks:

 	if (iop)
		atomic_add(plen, &iop->read_count);

  	if (ctx->bio && bio_end_sector(ctx->bio) == sector)
		if (__bio_try_merge_page(ctx->bio, page, plen, poff,
				&same_page))
			goto done;
		is_contig = true;
	}

	if (!is_contig || bio_full(ctx->bio, plen)) {
		// the existing case to allocate a new bio
	}

Also I think read_count should be renamed to be more descriptive,
something like read_bytes_pending?  Same for the write side.
