Today, storage devices like eMMC has special features like data tagging
(introduced in MMC-4.5 version) in order to improve performance of some
specific writes. On MMC stack, data tagging is used for all writes which has
REQ_META flag set. On EXT4, however, currently REQ_META is set only for read.
This patch adds the capability mark a meta-data buffer with set_buffer_meta
during meta data write. During submit_bh, this information is used to set
REQ_META flag.

AFAIK, the REQ_META is only for marking a bio/req to be recognized when
using blktrace or something. You can use REQ_PRIO for the purpose but it
applies only if your ioscheduler is CFQ.
But I'm not aware how the MMC stack works, so I might be missing something.

Today on ext4, REQ_META or REQ_PRIO are only used during read
operation. For meta-data writes, no special flag (REQ_META or
REQ_PRIO) is set.
On eMMC, we depend on REQ_META flag to implement the "reliable write"
and "data tag" feature, which are linked with additional reliability
and performance for file system meta-data writes.

Its not nice to duplicate a call site for the parameter difference
it's better to change the parameter and call the function in one
place. (an assembler call site can get big)
You can do:
+ submit_bh(write_op | (buffer_meta(bh) << __REQ_META), bh);
And also avoid a conditional inside a loop.
