You should know me by now. I intend to fully reuse both linux/raid/pq.h and linux/async_tx.h. [What? lose all these CPU/HW optimizations people have done ?-)] I'm struggling with re-factoring some of drivers/md/raid* as I'm using bios just as they do, and bio_lists are fine, but currently the code is very md/dm structure specific, there is no abstract bio_list API but I hope I can extract one with minimum risk. I have not yet looked into btrfs, they do raid5 as well right? But all this is far down the road, off course I'll send RFCs first. The above push is just for that unique objects groups/striping/mirroring, which is very small code, a couple of functions actually, over the basic IO. Thanks for asking, though.
