hi, I'm working towards the bioset rescuer threads completely. Part of that is understanding where they are actually needed, and removing them where they are not. bioset rescuer threads are only needed on a bioset where a make_request_fn will allocate from the bioset submit that bio with generic_make_request allocate again from the bioset, other then non-blocking allocation Neither of the biosets in dm-crypt or dm-io are used with this pattern so the flag can be removed. The bioset allocated in dm.c *is* used with this pattern, so some restructuring will be needed there before the flag can be removed.
