Yes, you're right. Since we noticed that some block layer patches[1]
are under review, we don't put much effort into that. Actually, we
don't want to include all the `bio` implementation in this patchset,
so it just some dummy codes.

If necessary, a seperate commit could be splited, including things
that do not belong to the device mapper.
