Which consolidations are happening and which drivers are being
affected how?

Why is this safe? If it's only bioset related API changes, why are
there other changes at all? If the new clone interface can handle
bioset fine, do we still need to expose __bio_clone()?

Why is idx != bi_idx test dropped?
I'm gonna stop here on this series. It doesn't seem like the issues
pointed out before have been addressed. I recommend spending more
effort on patch descriptions. Writing descriptions is not only
important for reviewing and history but it's a good step in ensuring
the patches are sane and properly split. If you can't explain each
change in the patch, it generally means either the changes themselves
are wrong or wrongly split.
Thanks.
