For better read performance, we add a new function to support for merging contiguous read as the one for write.

v1-->v2:
 o add declarations here as Gu Zheng suggested.

Hi Chao,

Please consider 80 columns for the description.
I cannot fix this at every time though. :(

Is there any reason to use down_read()?
It seems that we need to declare sbi->bio_read and sbi->bio_write
instead of sbi->bio_sem.
In addition to that, we need to use down_write(&sbi->bio_read) here.

Isn't that we use bio_sem to let w/r or w/w submitting be mutex?

If so, it looks similar between (struct rw_semaphore) sbi->bio_read 
and (struct bio *) sbi->read_bio.
How about using read_bio_sem/rbio_sem to differentiate 
from sbi->read_bio?

As I examined the bio_sem, I think we don't need to use a semaphore for
read and write IOs.
Just it is enough to use a mutex for writes only.

I think sbi->write_mutex and sbi->read_mutex are much better.

Could you refer the following patches?

Agree. Mutex is more suitable here, we just want to protect the write bio
related fields in the write patch, no relations to read.

It's more reasonable and readable.
