Please explain "why" you're making this change. Is it because bi_destructor interface is cumbersome? Adding bi_pool is overhead - why is it justified? Is it because one pointer is fine to add to struct bio (which I kinda agree) or are there future changes which will reverse the overhead (which is the case here). In general, I find the descriptions insufficient. They don't describe the reasons and reasoning behind the patch.
