We can't initalize the elevator fields for flushes as flush share space in struct request with the elevator data. But currently we can't communicate that a request is a flush through blk_get_request as we can only pass READ or WRITE, and the low-level code looks at the possible NULL bio to check for a flush. Fix this by allowing to pass any block op and flags, and by checking for the flush flags in __get_request.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
