I think things worked out okay since the untested patch I sent out pointed Dan in the right direction and he was able to put some effort into it while I didn't have to immediate time to do so. I just put in a few hours to polish off the final details on this fix now, and it should be coming your way as soon as I get an ack back from Dan. Hopefully Kent can review it as well, since I had to modify the approach to try to retain the advantages of his batched reqs_available handling and avoid bouncing the cacheline ctx->completion_lock is on during io_submit().
