How do you avoid it for the async case? We can only call ki_complete
once all bios have finished, which means we need a tracking structure
for it. For the synchronous case we could in theory wait for the
previous bio before sending the next, but there are plenty of RAID
arrays that would prefer > 1MB I/O. And we can pretty much reuse the
async case for this anyway.
