Right, all I'm saying is that both will land in -rc1 and it doesn't
really matter. Even if it's -rc2 it's not like a potential breakage with
this for certain exiting conditions is an issue. All that really matters
is that the final release is fine.

But like I said, I don't really care - it can go through the btrfs tree
as-is, or I can take it and it'll land in -rc1. If the latter, then I'd
just modify it to use io_should_terminate_tw() fro the get-go, if it
goes via the btrfs tree, then we can do a separate patch for that after
the fact.

I just need to know what the btrfs people intend to do here, so I can
plan accordingly.
