Subjectcomment typo for generic_make_request in 2.5.1-pre2?
Hi Jens et al,

Just looking at the bio changes in pre2 and I came across the comment for 
generic_make_request that says it may change bi_dev and/or bi_rsector.  I 
think the bi_rsector is supposed to be bi_sector (since the former no 
longer exists).  Here's a patch if in fact this is just a typo:

It's really no big deal, but I guess even the comments deserve to be 
correct. Anyway, this stuff is certainly fun reading!

David
