yes..

Recent addition to the block layer code blk_rq_map_user_io() has 9 
arguments:-
int blk_rq_map_user_io(struct request *req, struct rq_map_data
*map_data, void __user *ubuf, unsigned long buf_len,
gfp_t gfp_mask, bool vec, int iov_count, bool check_iter_count,
int rw)

above function also has 9 arguments not more than what is present
in the block tree. I can trim down the argument list probably by
removing the numa_node as it is set to NUMA_NO_NODE for most of the
drivers.
