Tejun Heo 407df2aa29 [BLOCK] elevator: run queue in elevator_switch
elevator_dispatch needs to run queue after forced dispatching;
otherwise, the queue might stall.

Zachary Amsden cff3ba2204 [BLOCK] elevator init fixes #2
In addition to the first patch, which is probably goodness, I found the
cause of my panic - applying this patch fixes it and now I am booting.
If the chosen_elevator[] is not found, fall back to noop.

Zachary Amsden b8ea2cb512 [BLOCK] elevator init fixes
I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace :

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060
..
EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed)
..
elevator_init+0x38
blk_init_queu_node+0xc9
floppy_init+0xdb
do_initcalls+0x23
init+0x10a
init+0x0

Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this
appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case
due to a race condition.  Someone more familiar with the elevator code
should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.

Jens Axboe 3a65dfe8c0 [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directory
drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.
