I did some research on bio operations in the system and state my
understanding here. I would like to have you review it and give me
more details of the fault. thanks

1. REQ_OP_ZONE_xxx
a. These operations are from driver/block layer/fs where we can keep
driver/block layer using the legacy submit_bio by not including
act_prio.h.
b. most of fs's REQ_OP_ZONE_xxx will be handled by blkdev_zone_mgmt
which is the same as 'a'
c. __submit_zone_reset_cmd within f2fs use no page for REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET

2. other REQ_OP_<none>_READ/WRITE except REQ_OP_ZONE_xxx
These operations all comes from driver and block layer as same as 1.a

3. direct_io
keep fs/direct-io.c and fs/iomap/direct-io.c using legacy submit_bio

4. metadata, dentry
Are these data also file pages?

5. normal REQ_OP_READ/WRITE/SYNC
fs choose to use act based submit_bio by including act_ioprio.h in
corresponding c file
