For direct I/O writes that issues more than a single bio, the pluggin is already done in __blkdev_direct_IO. For synchronous buffered writes the plugging is done deep down in writeback_inodes_wb / wb_writeback. For the other cases there is no point in plugging as as single bio or no bio at all is submitted.
