The function blk_get_request() can return NULL in some cases. There are

blk_get_request() return NULL.

drivers/ide is obsolete and scheduled for removal.

When it was scheduled for removal? I can't find an entry in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt. And how can that be when there are still many unconverted drivers?

I'm not sure messing with it is remotely useful at this point ?

   It's being maintained for bug fixes still, AFAIK.
