To clarify, this seems to be a complete list:

$ git grep -wl '\(__\|\)blk_\(fetch\|end\|start\)_request' | xargs grep -L blk_mq
Documentation/scsi/scsi_eh.txt
arch/um/drivers/ubd_kern.c

From what I can tell, most of these are hopelessly obsolete, but
there are some notable exceptions: aoe, osdblk, skd, sunvdc, mtdblk,
mmc, dasd and scm. I've never used any of the first four, but the
last four of the list are certainly important (for very different
reasons).
