copying drivers/block/as-iosched.c from 2.6.0-test5 to test8
looks like it fixes the regression.  Here are the results so far.

In the AIM7 database benchmark, jobs/minute using test5 as-iosched.c
doubled.  At 32 tasks, jobs/min went from 300 to 601.
At 256 tasks, jobs/min went from 552 to 1010.

The AIM7 fileserver benchmark is back up to previous
levels when test8 uses the test5 as-iosched.c:

My tiobench test hasn't completed yet, but test8 with test5's
as-iosched.c is making good progress.  I think Nick nailed the
changeset.
