If a new state is indeed necessary, I think this kind of checking in hot path is inefficient.
How about introduce a new state into request_queue, such as request_queue->gate_state.
Set the PM_ONLY and DV_ONLY into this state, then we could just check request_queue->gate_state > 0
before do further checking.
