Something I should have realized earlier is that this patch is not
necessary with the latest upstream kernel (v6.10-rc1). Damien's zoned
write plugging patch series has been merged. Hence, I/O schedulers,
including the mq-deadline I/O schedulers, will only see a single
zoned write at a time per zone. So it is no longer possible that
zoned writes are reordered by the I/O scheduler because of their I/O
priorities.

Thanks,

Bart.
