Like this, which compiles, but might need a few fixes yet.
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org>
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" frmo "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.
The blk_* congestion fucntions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.
This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.
