Hmm, looks like we pray to find another immediately usable page, to
finish _this_ request first, and then we will ``loop_get_bh'' the
buffer we just avoided waiting on and sync it.
Hmm, _maybe_ it is a good idea buffers submitted for IO by the
loopback threads to themselves go _in front_ of the loopback queue ?
