Are you sure? Seems to me that st builds its own list with
get_user_pages() for direct io, where will that get bounced? The block
layer will only bounce things that are mapped directly, so if st used
blk_rq_map_kern() and inserted that request in the queue, we could
proceed with killing that check in st.
