[RFC PATCH 2/2] dm: only initialize full request_queue for request-based device

From: Mike Snitzer
Date: Mon May 10 2010 - 19:22:31 EST


Revert back to only allocating a minimalist request_queue structure
initially (needed for both bio and request-based DM). Initialization of
a full request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc) is deferred until it is
known that the DM device is request-based.

dm_init_request_based_queue is now called at the end of a request-based
DM device's table load.

Otherwise bio-based DM devices will have an elevator, request_fn, etc.
As a result bio-based DM devices had an 'iosched/' tree as well as an
'elevator' other than "none" in sysfs.
