See attached quick profile. This is doing 4k IOS, btw, so just single
segment requests. Yet we spend most of the time in blk_rq_map_sg(), and
blk_queue_split() is not far behind. Between just the two of them,
that's more than 8% of the total CPU utilization. As this test case is
running on just one CPU for all of it, that's a LOT of wasted time.
