The idea looks good, but not sure it can cover all cases of
dm over brbd or brbd over dm and maintaining two lists
becomes too complicated.
One clean solution may be to convert the loop of generic_make_request()
into the following way:
do {
struct bio *splitted, *remainder = NULL;
struct request_queue *q = bdev_get_queue(bio->bi_bdev);
blk_queue_split(q, &bio, &remainder, q->bio_split);
ret = q->make_request_fn(q, bio);
if (remainder)
bio_list_add(current->bio_list, remainder);
bio = bio_list_pop(current->bio_list);
} while (bio)
And blk_queue_split() need a bit change and all its external calling
have to be removed.
Of cource we also need to fix blk_queue_bounce() first, but that can
be done easily by handling bounced bio via generic_make_request().

I think the issue need to be fixed.
