The patch looks fine to me, but I'd really like to see a bit more
changelog here. The commit message should explain why the change
is made, rather it's a very brief explanation of what it does.

If the bio list is contiguous, then we do the plugging to improve
merging at the lower level. You probably ran into a case where
you saw sub-optimal merging? And now the performance is better
with the patch? How much?

The result looks fine to me but can you please summarize that in the commit
message of the patch?

Thanks.
