Hi Jens,

This patch-set removes end_queued_request() and end_dequeued_request(),
which became identical by the blk_end_request patch-set:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119741306502719&w=2

They just calls __blk_end_request() actually, so users of them are
converted to call __blk_end_request() directly.
There should be no functional change.

This patch-set was created on top of the commit below of for-2.6.28.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
commit e857b07acc3f1352224f380fcbf26ef985116cc8
Author: Sven Schuetz <sven@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 26 10:58:02 2008 +0200

    include blktrace_api.h in headers_install
---------------------------------------------------------------------

end_request() could be also removed, but it has been used by
many old drivers and auditing all such codes will take a time.
So this patch-set doesn't remove end_request().

Please review and apply.

Thanks,
Kiyoshi Ueda
