+ *    off that queue when it is ready.  This works well for many block

+ *    directly to them.  This can be achieved by providing a function
+ *    to blk_queue_make_request().
+ *
+ * Caveat:
+ *    The driver that does this *must* be able to deal appropriately
+ *    with buffers in "highmemory". This can be accomplished by either calling

+ *    @rfn is not required, or even expected, to remove all requests off the
