I don't see my patch to block/Kconfig to make BLK_DEV_BSG be enabled
by default.  Is this going to be pushed for 2.6.32-rc1 when the merge
window opens up?  

I've attached the patch, just to make sure.  Let me know if I should
send it in properly.

Thanks!
John


Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions
depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info
properly.

This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros
have
enabled this for a long time.
