+ * @bio_ctr: setup function to be called for each clone bio.
+ *           Returns %0 for success, non %0 for failure.
+ * @data: private data to be passed to @bio_ctr
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *     Clones bios in @rq_src to @rq, and copies attributes of @rq_src to @rq.
+ *     The actual data parts of @rq_src (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense)
+ *     are not copied, and copying such parts is the caller's responsibility.
+ *     Also, pages which the original bios are pointing to are not copied
+ *     and the cloned bios just point same pages.
+ *     So cloned bios must be completed before original bios, which means
+ *     the caller must complete @rq before @rq_src.
