That commit does not have a good explanation on what it actually fixed.

Yes.  There's two things we can do here:

 - stop using the dev_t in tracing a request_queue
 - exit the I/O schedules in del_gendisk, because they are only used
   for file system I/O that requires the gendisk anyway

we'll probably want both eventually.

Not with the new patch 1 in this series.

Jens - can you take a look at the series that fixes the crashes people
are sending while I'm looking at the rest of the corner cases?
