I attempted to enhance this solution to support additional target types,
such as those with num_flush_bios greater than 1.

If I understand correctly, you are suggesting to iterate through all the
targets, handling those with sends_pass_around_flush set, and skipping
those where sends_pass_around_flush is not set. I believe this approach
may result in some CPU wastage.

for i in {0..1023}; do
echo $((8000*$i)) 8000 linear /dev/sda2 $((16384*$i))
done | sudo dmsetup create example

In this specific scenario, a single iteration of the loop is all that
is needed.
