I only just joined this list today to past this patch.

So in one word :
- for technical reasons, "fd" bio are preferable to "file" bio on Solaris
- but as "fd" bio don't implement gets, they are not usable as a direct replacement for "file" bio - your attached patch implements gets for "fd" bio to align them functionally with "file" bio and solve that problem

Note that this gets is implemented in a way that can become very bad performance-wise (there's no easy solution for that, I'm mostly saying implementers shoud beware of it).
