Cross? One starts where the other starts. Could you please explain what's
wrong?

Could you please explain why it may not work well? I have no idea what
concern you have with BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE in this case.

The only place blk_phys_contig_segment is called from is
ll_merge_requests, and the first req of the split bio wouldn't even go
through here because it's marked REQ_NOMERGE.

Could you please explain? It just uses the bio iterator, which I'm pretty
sure is not broken.
