and... -> with the queue frozen when... ?


Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

Other than that, looks good to me.
