Thanks Mike...

If I understand this correctly, then we need to make the same change for
all other callers of bio_split(), except blk_queue_split().
Maybe we should just set the flag and do the trace in bio_split().
Do you see any harm with doing it that way (in the next merge-window, I
don't suggest you change this patch).

Thanks,
NeilBrown
