To be honest, I don't think that we can clean up the block
mapping. For example, blk_rq_map_kern_prealloc() in your patchset
doesn't look cleanup to me. It's just moving a hack from ide to the
block (well, I have to admit that I did the same thing when I
converted sg/st/osst...).

We can't have good API with insane users. I don't want to ask this
publicly but don't we have any chance to merge the old ide code and
libata?
