The following patches are a against the bk scsi-locking-2.5 tree.

The big change is the removal of the lock hierarchy.

James - could you please apply these incoming patches to the
scsi-locking-2.5 tree, comment, and/or push to Linus (or scsi-misc)?

If the opinion is that this needs more runtime, other changes, or more
performance comparisons, I can do so.

The patches do seem to increase the likelyhood of hitting a race in the
aic driver (the patch Zwane posted to have aic use del_timer_sync, and
is currently in the akpm mm patch).

I do not think the extra blk queue init/frees are bad, especially with
Jens working on dynamic req allocation.

Thanks.
