The question I think being ignored here is. Why not leave things as

Because if we just pass in this one extra piece of information which is
normally already available in the driver, we can avoid a whole lot of ugly
cruft in the out-of-line functions by plugging in

You don't need to make it out-of-line for all cases - or indeed in any case
where it isn't out-of-line already. Some architectures may have only IO

Yes, I can reproduce it in 2.4.5 with exactly the same behaviour and

on the raid partition (it was not possible to install with my mobo
before because of a problem in the RH installer)
