Probably best to have this as its own patch last in the series.

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BLK_FILTER))
blk_filter_submit_bio(bio);
else
submit_bio_direct(bio);

is much cleaner...

The remaining should probably be a different patch before the above change.

All the EXPORT_SYMBOL should probably be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
