Thomas, you don't need to ask for each and every patch you find missing
from 2.6.32 *why* it's not there, as I explained to you in my last e-mail,
many patches are missing.
Willy, sorry - but such a mail from you doesn't reached me.
Better ask if we could include it and why you think it makes sense (eg:
you have verified that it fixes one problem you're experiencing), and
we'll all save a lot of time.

Revert "block: improve queue_should_plug() by looking at IO depths"

This was reverted 2010-02-23 in 2.6.33(!) and is there till now in
2.6.34.y. This makes installing our system on usb sticks more usefully.

The points 1. to 5. and the corresponding patches in my mail all fixed
problems for us. But I received no answer from you.
Thats okay, you are busy.
The reason why I ask here, why a patch for a problem fix is in 2.6.33
and all following kernels but not in 2.6.32, is, that there may be a
reason for this.
Because I followed not every discussions here and maybe found the reason
not, because I searched the net badly.
Sorry for the noise.
