Hello Christoph,

Request-based drivers need the structure definitions from <linux/blkdev.h> and
the type definitions from <linux/blk_types.h> but do not need the definition of
struct bio. Have you considered to remove #include <linux/bio.h> from file
include/linux/blkdev.h? Do you think that would help to reduce the kernel build
time?

Thanks,

Bart.
