Works for me:

That's from a quick trace of /dev/sda. I started blktrace, then did:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=4k count=128 && sync
to ensure that I knew merges would be happening. Output stats at the end:
Total (sda): Reads Queued: 7, 44KiB Writes Queued: 447, 7692KiB Read Dispatches: 7, 44KiB Write Dispatches: 416, 7692KiB Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0 Reads Completed: 7, 44KiB Writes Completed: 435, 5864KiB Read Merges: 0, 0KiB Write Merges: 23, 428KiB IO unplugs: 78 Timer unplugs: 0
