Toby,
Nothing can be done without the full re-write of the driver. The global request_io_lock is slammed into play way to early and release way to late. You will have to suffer with this flaw until the spin of 2.5. We are talking about a rewrite that is still at least 60 days from being ready for me to test.
I still have to draft the recovery tools to mirror the disks for the data lose in the pre-alpha tests.
