BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is only checked in the swap code, and used to decided if ->rw_page can be used on a block device. Just check up for the method instead. The only complication is that zram needs a second set of block_device_operations as it can switch between modes that actually support ->rw_page and those who don't.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
