resent request queue changes

How do the recent request queue changes influence ll_rw_block()?

Background:
i ported LVM but now i immediately get a call to the LVM
dummy request function while accessing a logical volume.

This should never happen, because ll_rw_block() calls the LVM remap function
(lvm_map) which remaps every i/o to a physical device similar like md does it.
In turn this should only queue requests to other devices but not to LVM.

Any hints?

Heinz
