Look fine, but I'm very worried about the state of the current code. I
mean, this last round of fixes got the timestamp correct and made
blktrace work again. Those are something that should have been caught
even before the whole thing was posted, let alone merged. When do you
plan on pushing this upstream? Looks like 2.6.31 to me, it's clearly not
ready for 2.6.30 by any stretch.
