Jens,

If a driver does not allocate requests through blk_get_request, will the
rl->count[] tests need to be changed or do those drivers need to be
changed? For example, if SCSI insterts a special request into the queue,
then someone swaps the io scheduler with no outstanding normal requests
(so the rl->counts will be zero), could the special request still be in
the queue since it allocated its request using kmalloc (the request is
allocated as part of the scsi command).
