One thing I'd like to do is split BLK_MQ_REQ_PREEMPT and RQF_PREEMPT, that is don't set RQF_PREEMPT automatically when BLK_MQ_REQ_PREEMPT is passed to blk_get_request, but let the caller set it manually. After that RQF_PREEMPT isn't used by the block layer itself at all and can be moved into ide/scsi specific flags that we can use as we want.
