I think it's time that we stop overloading the request flags with
request types.

We already have req->cmd_type which actually is a fairly good
description of what we get except for REQ_TYPE_FS, which is a horrible
overload using req->cmd_flags.

Given that you're just one of many currently ongoing patches to add
more flags here I think you need to byte the bullet and fix this up
by replacing REQ_TYPE_FS with:

REQ_TYPE_WRITE
REQ_TYPE_READ
REQ_TYPE_FLUSH
REQ_TYPE_DISCARD
REQ_TYPE_WRITE_SAME
REQ_TYPE_CMP_AND_WRITE

sd.c is a nice guide of what should be a flag and what a type since my
last refactoring of the command_init function.
