    Hello Bean,

    Sorry but I think it would be wrong to bypass the block layer when submitting
    UFS commands. My understanding is that UFS devices are used in systems where
    power management functionality is important (see also Documentation/power).
    If the block layer would be bypassed then the power management support that
    exists in the block layer will have to be reimplemented in UFS devices. That
    would be a duplicate effort. I'm not sure that we want such duplication.

    Bart.
