I thought about this, but I think this is not a good idea to increase merging
ratio of pages in bio. It breaks the rule of SYNC/ASYNC IO defined by system
which indicate degree of IO emergency, finally, some/more non-emergent IO will
treated as emergent one by IO scheduler, it will interrupt SYNC IOs in block
layer, more seriously, it may make real SYNC IO starvation.

Thanks,
