Subject: Re: [PATCH] block: Call .initialize_rq_fn() also for filesystem requests

I still disagree that we should have an indirect function call like this
in the fast path.

All that can be done by clearing or setting a flag on the first call to
->queue_rq or ->queuecommand instead.  In NVMe we use RQF_DONTPREP for
that, but for SCSI we probablt can't use that given that it has more
meaning for the old request path.  But how about just adding a new
RQD_DRV_INITIALIZED or similar flag?
