Subject: Re: [PATCH V11 14/19] block: handle non-cluster bio out of
blk_bio_segment_split
Actually..
I think we can kill this code entirely. If we look at what the
clustering setting is really about it is to avoid ever merging a
segement that spans a page boundary. And we should be able to do
that with something like this before your series:

Subject: block: remove the "cluster" flag
The cluster flag implements some very old SCSI behavior. As far as I
can tell the original intent was to enable or disable any kind of
segment merging. But the actually visible effect to the LLDD is that
it limits each segments to be inside a single page, which we can
also affect by setting the maximum segment size and the virt
boundary.
