Subject: [PATCH linux-2.6-block.git] Fix blktrace trace ordering for plug
 branch

The attached patch will correct the ordering of trace output between 
request queue insertions (I) and unplug calls (U). Right now the insert 
precedes the unplug, which just isn't right:

 65,128  0        1    67.699868965  7882  Q   R 0 + 1 [aiod]
 65,128  0        2    67.699876462  7882  G   R 0 + 1 [aiod]
 65,128  0        3    67.699878286  7882  P   W [aiod]
 65,128  0        4    67.699880491  7882  I   R 0 + 1 [aiod]
 65,128  0        5    67.699887589  7882  U   R [aiod] 1
 65,128  0        6    67.699898317    54  D   R 0 + 1 [kblockd/0]
 65,128  2      153    67.700126590     0  C   R 0 + 1 [0]

With the patch provided the unplug comes first:

 65,128  3        1     0.000000000  7045  Q   R 0 + 1 [aiod]
 65,128  3        2     0.000002295  7045  G   R 0 + 1 [aiod]
 65,128  3        3     0.000002617  7045  P   W [aiod]
 65,128  3        4     0.000003685  7045  U   R [aiod] 1
 65,128  3        5     0.000004107  7045  I   R 0 + 1 [aiod]
 65,128  3        6     0.000009491    57  D   R 0 + 1 [kblockd/3]
 65,128  2        1     0.000232447     0  C   R 0 + 1 [0]

Jens: If you agree, the patch can be applied to your plug branch for 
git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git

Thanks,
Alan
