A source of confusion in the block layer is that can be nontrivial to determine
which type of flags a u32 function argument accepts. This patch series clears
up that confusion for request flags by introducing a new __bitwise type, namely
blk_opf_t. Additionally, the type 'int' is change into 'enum req_op' where used
to hold a request operation.
Analysis of the sparse warnings introduced by this conversion resulted in one
bug fix ("blktrace: Trace remap operations correctly").
Although the number of patches in this series is significant, the risk of this
patch series is low since most patches involve changing one integer type (int
or u32) into another integer type of the same size (enum req_op or blk_opf_t).
Please consider this patch series for kernel v5.20.

Hi Jens,
I think that everyone who is interested in reviewing this patch series
has had sufficient time to review the patches in this patch series. Do
you prefer to queue this patch series for kernel v5.20 or kernel v5.21?
Thanks,
Bart.
