Nit: the !! is not needed.

So if it already was saved the list gets cleared here? Can you explain
this logic a little more?

I think you want to hide these casts in helpers that clearly document
why this is safe rather than sprinkling the casts all over the code.
I also wonder if there is any better way to structur this.

I can't really parse the comment, can you explain this a little more?
But if we need this check, shouldn't it move to bio_poll()?

So it seems like you don't use bi_cookie at all. Why not turn
bi_cookie into a union to stash the hlist_head and use that?
