Recent -next kernels don't have blk_start_request() function
anymore. It has been removed in a recent cleanup. bio* tools should be
able to handle the lack of this probe.

@jeromemarchand could you share the cleanup commit here? So blk_mq_start_request will cover all start_request, right?

The commit that actually removed blk_start_request is commit bd93676fa69faf ("block: remove dead elevator code"). But it's only a small part of a big series that removed all of the legacy request code and converted its remaining users to blk-mq.
And yes, from now on, blk_mq_start_request will cover all request that were started by blk_start_request,
