What's the reason to make this a make_request based driver? That loses
all the intelligence that has been put into the queueing layer, like I/O
bandwith controlling and fair scheduling. Is it just queue_lock
contention? If so it would be great if you could help with testing
Jens' stack-plug and request allocation scalability patches.
