I think I'll start from 662d5c5e and steal most parts from 1781c6a3.  I
like stealing, you know. :-) I think 1781c6a3 also can use splitting -
zero length barrier implementation and issue_flush conversion.

Anyways, how do I pull from git.kernel.dk?
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git gives me connection reset by server.

Thanks.
