No, that wasn't intentional and should be fixed.  Btw, there was another
issue with that commit, in that dm-multipath also needs to allocate
->flush_rq.  I saw a patch from Hannes fixing it in the SuSE tree, and
would really love to see him submit that for mainline as well.

Unfortunately SuSE seems to have lots of block and dm fixes and even
features that they don't submit upstream.
