Didn't we discuss this before?
We *require* DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE functionality - I can't apply a patch that
breaks it.  But it is not something that can be used arbitrarily - it is
only used in situations where core dm is firmly in control (and I/O cannot get
through to the device e.g. all paths down in multipath) and I don't see why it
can't continue to work with barriers.

I hope it's just the comment that is wrong here - or does the patch need
updating?
