+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(blk_mq_poll_batch);

A new exported function without any documentation? Wow.

I just copied blk_mq_poll export...

Please add a header
above this function that documents at least which other completion processing
code can execute concurrently with this function and from which contexts the
other completion processing code can be called (e.g. blk_mq_poll() and
.complete()).

I can do that, I'll document blk_mq_poll too..

Why to return if (!q->mq_ops || !q->mq_ops->poll_batch)? Shouldn't that be a
WARN_ON_ONCE() instead? I think it is an error to calling blk_mq_poll_batch()
against a queue that does not define .poll_batch().

Not really, we don't know if the block driver actually supports poll_batch (or poll for that matter). Instead of conditioning in the
call-site, we condition within the call.

Its not really a bug, its harmless.

Additionally, I think making the hardware context an argument of this function
instead of using blk_mq_map_queue(q, smp_processor_id()) would make this
function much more versatile.

What do you mean? remember that the callers interface to the device is
a request queue, it doesn't even know if its a blk-mq device. Can you
explain in more details what you would like to see?
