I still don't think this is a good general export, it has very specialized use. For example, from the description it looks like this can be generally used on any block device and when it returns, we have synced the queue. This simply isn't true, there are absolutely no guarentees of that nature unless the block driver itself implements the __make_request() functionality and has taken proper precautions to prevent this already.
