This and the third patch should probably be merged to the first patch.
As it currently stands, it introduces window where spurious events are
generated.

And, who's setting this flag?

Bounced bio's are separate bio's too and I don't think masking its
completion from the TP itself is a good idea.  As I wrote before, why
not do this from blktrace code?

Thanks.
