Jens, your patch works! We are seeing a little bit increase in indirect
branch calls with your patch where our patch tries to remove elevator_merge_fn()
completely. But the difference is all within noise range.

If there is no other issues (I don't see any), we would like to see this patch
merged upstream. Thanks.
