Hi Jens,

Sorry for forgetting to update in this thread, the latest cleanup patchset
has been included into the following patchset of '[PATCH V4 00/45] block: support
multipage bvec' as patch 1 ~ 17:

https://marc.info/?t=151359981400006&r=1&w=2

If possible, please revert this 10 patches in your block-tree, and apply
the whole patchset of '[PATCH V4 00/45] block: support multipage bvec'
on the above link, and the V4 is much more clean than before.

Thanks,
Ming
