I did an initial run on the plane:

http://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-2.6.39/ioc-rq-alloc

Not tested at all, so there are likely a few bugs. Congestion is gone,
we'll need to consider that. Before the device was either congested or
not congested, now the question to ask would be "is the device congested
for ME" as the answer will depend on who is asking.
