2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
 looking at IO depths"

From: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>

This reverts commit fb1e75389bd06fd5987e9cda1b4e0305c782f854.

"Benjamin S." <[email protected]> reports that the patch in question
causes a big drop in sequential throughput for him, dropping from
200MB/sec down to only 70MB/sec.

Needs to be investigated more fully, for now lets just revert the
offending commit.
