The attached patch does the following:

1. Remove blkdev_release_request(Request); it was an unnecessary wrapper
around blk_put_request(Request). Likely some leftover from pre-BIO
time...

2. Abstract out the fine __scsi_insert_special() function out from
the SCSI code.

Now that I have finally managed to kill all those IDE 'specific'
REQ_BLAH request types, we can do this final step, and it will be
used soon at least by ATA code as well. The goal is that
scsi_request_fn and do_ide_request should start to look similar
like silblings.

Its called blk_insert_request() now and even documented in code.

3. Change some stuff over from extern inline to static inline in
blkdev.h. (trivia...)

This patch doesn't change *any* functionality, so its not exposing
SCSI to any danger :-).

Please apply.

Thanks.
