+ * at once instead of individually:
+ *
+ * blk_io_plug(); <-- start of plugged region
+ * ...
+ * blk_io_plug_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call
+ * blk_io_plug_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
+ * blk_io_plug_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
+ * ...
+ * blk_io_unplug(); <-- end of plugged region, my_func(my_obj) is called once
+ *
+ * This code is actually generic and not tied to the block layer. If another
+ * subsystem needs this functionality, it could be renamed.
