[PATCH] noop-iosched: reimplementation

[Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>]

The original implementation directly used dispatch queue.  As new
generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and
dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic.
This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic
iosched model better.  Request merging with q->last_merge and
rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.

Jens, this one also received several hours of testing which involves a
lot of request merging, but it might still be a better idea to wait
for the next release.  Oh... Are we still in the merging window for
2.6.15?  If so, this one can go in, I guess.
