If using read_cache_page_gfp and ->readpage works, please do. The
fact that the block device inode uses buffer heads is an implementation
detail that might not last very long and should be invisible to you.
It also means you can get rid of a lot of code that you don't have
to maintain and others don't have to update for global API changes.

Ok. I wish we would have just sorted this out beforehand, which we
could have trivially done without all that staging mess.
