Personally, I find it a bit odd to have flags starting with
REQ_ to be applied to bios; I would have expected them to be
applicable for requests, not for bios.

Not sure if it's worth the trouble to have the entire flag
set duplicated with BIO_XXX; maybe we should be using a common
set of flags prefixed with something else.

But in the end this is just a style issue, not a technical one.

Cheers,

Hannes
