* the disk mappings may require I/O. Reads of indirect blocks, for example.

* So an mpage read of the first 16 blocks of an ext2 file will cause I/O to be
* submitted in the following order:
* 12 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16
* because the indirect block has to be read to get the mappings of blocks
* 13,14,15,16. Obviously, this impacts performance.
*
* So what we do it to allow the filesystem's get_block() function to set
* BH_Boundary when it maps block 11. BH_Boundary says: mapping of the block
* after this one will require I/O against a block which is probably close to
* this one. So you should push what I/O you have currently accumulated.
*
* This all causes the disk requests to be issued in the correct order.
