What do you mean?
I used to have a patch that keeps order of requests as they were
introduced, but sorting the requests according to sector number is a bit
simpler.

bio_associate_current() is only valid on a system with cgroups and there
are no cgroups on the kernel where I tested it. It is an empty function:
static inline int bio_associate_current(struct bio *bio) { return -ENOENT; }
