[PATCH 2/8] Add WRITE_SYNC_PLUG and SWRITE_SYNC_PLUG

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Mon Apr 06 2009 - 08:48:29 EST


(S)WRITE_SYNC always unplugs the device right after IO submission.
Sometimes we want to build up a queue before doing so, so add
variants that explicitly DON'T unplug the queue. The caller must
then do that after submitting all the IO.
