Some of the flags that we want to use from the make_request_fn path

When did we start doing that?  We really should merge Mike's split
of the operation style flags into the cmd_type before making things
even worse in the flags area.

Just now, and I ran into it last week as well, for a test patch on cfq that passed in higher flags for get_request -> may_queue() as well. We can do Mike's split first, I think it's a good cleanup. As a standalone series, I needed it though.
