Thanks a lot for reviewing it closely.  It's really nice to have
careful extra pair of eyes on the changes.  :-)

Does resid_len make any sense w/ failed requests?  I think we would be
better off with declaring residual count to be undefined on request
failure.  Is there any place which depends on it?

That said, the value is eventually exported to userland, so it might
be better to not change it.  Eh... I don't know.

Can you elaborate a bit about the bug fix part?

Aieee.. yeah, that's one stupid misconversion.  That function should
just use blk_end_request_all().  Will fix.  Thanks for spotting it.

Cool.

I saw a conflict in blkdev.h but there could be other things.  I think
it should be fine to just base things on my branch.  I or Jens should
be able to handle merge conflicts later.

I'll update the patchset and repost soonish.

Thanks a lot.
