It really should not matter, as the overhead of setting up a bio
is minimal. It also is only used in the legacy mpage buffered I/O
code outside of the swap code, which has so many performance issues on
its own that even if this made a difference it wouldn't matter.
If you want magic treatment for your zram swap code you really need
to integrate it with the swap code instead of burding the block layer
with all this mess.
