Okay, nas1 is the patch I orginally posted.  With nas2, I am counting
requests instead of sectors.  The times below are for the find/cat
command to complete while the dd command is running.

            time
    2.4.20  ????????? (I gave up after about 15 minutes)
    -nas1   1m56.746s
    -nas2   2m36.928s
Here's the contest results:

It looks like nas1 works a little better.  I think the reason is that if
requests are counted then as soon as there is one read in queue, however
small, the next non-contiguous read request will be inserted after a
write request, however large.
