  • Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
    and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
    So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

  • Updated 'nomerges' tunable to accept a value of '2' - indicating that _no_
    merges at all are to be attempted (not even the simple one-hit cache).

    The following table illustrates the additional benefit - 5 minute runs of
    a random I/O load were applied to a dozen devices on a 16-way x86_64 system.

  • biodoc.txt mentions that elevator functions marked with * are mandatory, but
    no function is marked with *. Mark the 3 functions which should be
    implemented by any io scheduler.

  • Move DMA-mapping.txt to Documentation/PCI/.

    DMA-mapping.txt was supposed to be moved from Documentation/ to
    Documentation/PCI/. The 00-INDEX files in those two directories
    were updated, along with a few other text files, but the file
    itself somehow escaped being moved, so move it and update more
    text files and source files with its new location.

  • Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
    struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
    the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
    the proper type.

  • Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of
    media changes. This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags",
    which is documented in (insert file name). This sysfs file will export all
    disk capabilities flags to user space. We also define a new flag to define
    the media change notification capability.
