Subject: block: add queue flag for SSD/non-rotational devices
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~733^2~23
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a68bbddba486020c9c74825ce90c4c1ec463e0e8;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

block: add queue flag for SSD/non-rotational devices

We don't want to idle in AS/CFQ if the device doesn't have a seek
penalty. So add a QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to indicate a non-rotational
device, low level drivers should set this flag upon discovery of
an SSD or similar device type.
