Jens, any reason why this isn't included in your for-2.6.36 yet?

Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
(the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting
the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio
nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be
completed partially so we need to modify sd_done.
This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't
retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).
