I think that it can be divided in two parts. First part seems to be cleanup where we get rid of ->bi_destructor and merge kmalloc() and allocation from bio_set. Second part seems to be more of enhancing bio splitting functionality and not necessarily a cleanup. So may be breaking this series in two parts makes sense. First part is cleanup and second part is enhanced bio splitting capabilities of block layer.
