Subject: [PATCH 6/7] block: make blk_poll() take a parameter on whether to spin or not

I find the paramter name a little confusing.  Maybe wait_for_request,
although I don't particularly like that one either.  But we really need
to document the parameter well here, no matter what we end up naming
it.  And we should use a consistent name through the whole stack.

This opportunistic poll is pretty bogus now as we never set the HIPRI
flag and it should probably be removed in a prep patch.  We should then
later try to use a scheme similar to your aio polling for the nvme
target as well.
