152587deb8 [PATCH] fix NMI lockup with CFQ scheduler
The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the
SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device
release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again.

The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue.

a299738283 [PATCH] use cheaper elv_queue_empty when unplug a device
In function __generic_unplug_device(), kernel can use a cheaper function
elv_queue_empty() instead of more expensive elv_next_request to find
whether the queue is empty or not.  blk_run_queue can also made conditional
on whether queue's emptiness before calling request_fn().

4a534f93b3 [PATCH] possible use-after-free of bio
There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI.  It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio.  It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.

So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
