    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.
