That's a fairly complex function..

I wonder about this:

	spin_lock_irq(&conf->device_lock);
	if (--bi->bi_phys_segments == 0) {
		int bytes = bi->bi_size;

		if ( bio_data_dir(bi) == WRITE )
			md_write_end(mddev);
		bi->bi_size = 0;
		bi->bi_end_io(bi, bytes, 0);
	}
	spin_unlock_irq(&conf->device_lock);

bi_end_io() can be somewhat expensive.  Does it need to happen under the lock?
