This is different from what other reviewers say:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1517245320.2687.14.camel@wdc.com/

Either way, this code is removed in a later patch so this discussion is
moot. It makes sense to have a bisection point here in case something
goes wrong but it is pointless to argue about the code structure
inherited from the previous revision.
