Please pull to get these IDE bug fixes:

1) DMA timeouts cause requests to get lost completely and never
   requeued.  Fix from Herbert Xu.  (Tejun has a different
   approach to this problem which makes PIO and DMA timeouts
   get handled more symmetrically, but I'll defer that to
   ide-next-2.6)

2) taskfile ops with CFQ scheduler bomb because the taskfile
   code allocates a request then changes it's direction (e.g.
   READ vs. WRITE) and this makes CFQ explode.  Fix by allocating
   the correct request type from the beginning.  From Mikulas Patocka.

Thanks!
