When the scheduler reports to the block layer that there is an urgent
request pending, the device driver may decide to stop the transmission
of the current request in order to handle the urgent one. This is done
in order to reduce the latency of an urgent request. For example:
long WRITE may be stopped to handle an urgent READ.
