I've updated blktrace w/ the following commits. It has enabled me to
handle a moderate load on a 32-way ia64 box w/ 88 disks being used. (The
load is to build an Oracle database w/ 5000 warehouses onto the volume
constructed from those 88 disks.) I used both local & networked modes,
and had _zero_ drops over a 400 second period. (The load was generating
about 44,500 traces per second.)
