Tejun,
an older commit of yours to the legacy IDE driver
(5c4be57249e2e09136446597d2fe2a967c6ffef0) states
"* do_request functions might sleep now. This should be okay as ide
request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request
and plug work. Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep()
to do_ide_request()."
With your newer commit "block: kick queue after sequencing
REQ_FLUSH/FUA" (47f70d5a6ca78c40a1c799d43506efbfed914f7b)
the assumption above doesn't appear to hold anymore, leading to

(I added the panic to get a full stack trace and stop the system
instead of endlessly printing the normal "scheduling while atomic"
output.)
As I understand it, it's the call to __blk_run_queue() from the
rq->end_io handler that is causing the conflict with
do_ide_request()'s use of might_sleep().
As a band-aid, the patch below worked for me (on 2.6.37), but
I'm not convinced this is actually an appropriate thing to do (not
the least because the other two examples of forcibly setting
QUEUE_FLAG_REENTER [in the scsi driver] look fishy to me).
