Something like this should work, can you test it?

Spits out a bunch of the following. It's this assertion:

static inline void queue_lockdep_assert_held(struct request_queue *q)
{
if (q->queue_lock)
lockdep_assert_held(q->queue_lock);
}

Ah right, we clear the stopped flag. This one should be better.
