Looks a empty link, and the following had the discussion too:

The idea looks very nice, but this patch can't be applid to current block-next
branch.

Looks it might be simpler to implement the approach by using percpu bio_list.

If we may resue current->bio_list for this purpose, disabling irq should have
been avoided, but looks it is difficult to do in that way, maybe impossible.
Also not realistic to introduce a new per-task variable.

Suggest to comment that bio_queue is the bottom-most stack variable,
otherwise looks a bit tricky to understand.
