See below, don't want to spam with a new version. Outside of this, are
we in agreeing on that it looks OK now from an interface point of view?
Do we want the enum rw_hint more polished and split up? Right now it's
carried through untouched. I'd rather put that in the flags in the
bio/request for two reasons:

1) We have room for the 4 bits. We can always move it to separate
   members if we have to for more hints. I'm always reluctant to add to
   either struct, as adding is much easier than removing.

2) If it's in the flags, we get it automatically all the way through the
   stack. If it's separate members, we have to touch a bunch of places
   to propagate it from bio to request, or from bio to bio when we clone
   and split.
