Neil,

Here is the latest spin of the 'stripe_queue' implementation.  Thanks to
raid6+bitmap testing done by Mr. James W. Laferriere there have been
several cleanups and fixes since the last release.  Also, the changes
are now spread over 4 patches to isolate one conceptual change per
patch.  The most significant cleanup is removing the stripe_head back
pointer from stripe_queue.  This effectively makes the queuing layer
independent from the caching layer.

Expansion support needs more testing.

See the individual patch changelogs for details.  Patch 1 contains
updated performance numbers.

Andrew,

These are updated in the git-md-accel tree, but I will work the
finalized versions through Neil's 'Signed-off-by' path.

Dan Williams (4):
      raid5: add the stripe_queue object for tracking raid io requests (rev3)
      raid5: split allocation of stripe_heads and stripe_queues
      raid5: convert add_stripe_bio to add_queue_bio
      raid5: use stripe_queues to prioritize the "most deserving" requests (rev7)
