There is one possible concern that could be exacerbated by other changes in

increased number of requests being allocated if this is the case.

Well, Robert said reverting the two aio commits didn't help. Either he
didn't manage to boot into the right kernel, or we need to look
elsewhere for the culprit.

Rob, let me know what scsi_debug setup you use, and I can try and reproduce it here as well.
