From: Alan D. Brunelle <alan.brunelle@xxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 16:27:34 -0400
Subject: [PATCH] Added in MESSAGE notes for blktraces - sample message for elv switch

Allows messages to be inserted into blktrace streams. Can be used to
annotate parts separations in the blktrace stream.

(Needs cleaning up: separate elevator mods into a separate patch.)
