I ran into some last minute issues so I stopped at 5. Still re-testing
the others.
This snippet seems to tbe the culprit.
+               if (blk_queue_stopped(h->gendisk[curr_queue]->queue) ||
+                   blk_queue_plugged(h->gendisk[curr_queue]->queue))
+                       blk_start_queue(h->gendisk[curr_queue]->queue);

We're testing to see if the queue is stopped or plugged so we don't
try to start am already running queue. Without the blk_queue_plugged
test it hangs every time. We added blk_queue_plugged and the first tests
seem to run ok. Then at the last minute something broke. Does this look
ok to you?

Yep, put the cart before horse I suppose. Maybe I shouldn't have a
version number at all. :)
