There are no other functions in the block layer that start with the
prefix blk_q_. How about changing that prefix into blk_?

Please add a comment above 'debugfs_dir' that it is used not only by the
code in block/blk-*debugfs.c but also by the code in
kernel/trace/blktrace.c. Otherwise this patch looks good to me.

Thanks,
