Re Jans comments:  this document is structurally out of date, as it's
framed aroudn the transition of the 2.4 to 2.5 block layer code.
Replacing it with something that just describes the current code
would be nice, nut not something I would want to bureden on someone
just removing the now incorrect parts of it.

And with blk-mq this is even more out of date now..
