-/**
- * blk_attempt_remerge  - attempt to remerge active head with next request
- * @q:    The &request_queue_t belonging to the device
- * @rq:   The head request (usually)
- *
- * Description:
- *    For head-active devices, the queue can easily be unplugged so quickly
- *    that proper merging is not done on the front request. This may hurt
- *    performance greatly for some devices. The block layer cannot safely
- *    do merging on that first request for these queues, but the driver can
- *    call this function and make it happen any way. Only the driver knows
- *    when it is safe to do so.
