Yes.

You can check for REQ_FUA in extra_flags (or the entire op).

Passing multiple bool arguments just loses way too much context.  But
if you really want everything in one place you could probably build
the entire blk_opf_t in iomap_dio_bio_iter, and avoid having to
recalculate it for every bio.
