[dm-devel] [PATCH 11/30] block: filter flush bio's in __generic_make_request()

There are a number of make_request based drivers which don't support
cache flushes. Filter out flush bio's in __generic_make_request() so
that they don't have to worry about them. All FLUSH/FUA requests with
data are converted to regular IO requests and empty ones are completed
immediately.
