The top bits of bio->bi_flags are reserved for keeping the
allocation pool, set aside the next eight bits for carrying
a stream ID. That leaves us with support for 255 streams,
0 is reserved as a "stream not set" value.

Add helpers for setting/getting stream ID of a bio.

I understand that the stream ID is not related to specific priority
of an IO request.  However, I'm wondering how this patch series
interacts with some of the other patch series that add cache priority
hints?  Is there a danger of running out of space in the IO pipeline
for the additional cache hints if this is using 8 bits?

Some more comments inline.

Should this really be:

#define BIO_STREAM_OFFSET	(BIO_POOL_OFFSET - BIO_STREAM_BITS)

Otherwise there is a risk of conflict if someone changes BIO_POOL_BITS.

Cheers, Andreas

That's always a risk, of course, but that goes for most features that 
need to carry more data in struct bio (or elsewhere). Otherwise we'll 
have to bite the bullet and add a new field.

Good point, that would be cleaner. I'll make that change.
