Subject: Re: [PATCH] block: eliminate ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE

Btw, is there any need to actually keep the elv_insert interface?

Itw has two callers in current mainline, two of them hardcode
ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE as the reason and could opencode it, and
the other cases could be merged into __elv_add_request.
