Short explanation of request members
====================================
Classification flags:
= ====================
D driver member
B block layer member
I I/O scheduler member
= ====================
Unless an entry contains a D classification, a device driver must not access
this member. Some members may contain D classifications, but should only be
access through certain macros or functions (eg ->flags).

struct list_head queuelist BI Organization on various internal
queues
``void *elevator_private`` I I/O scheduler private data
unsigned char cmd[16] D Driver can use this for setting up
a cdb before execution, see
blk_queue_prep_rq
unsigned long flags DBI Contains info about data direction,
request type, etc.
int rq_status D Request status bits
