[PATCH] blk_start_queue() must be called with irq disabled - add warning
The queue lock can be taken from interrupts so it must always be taken with irq disabling primitives. Some primitives already verify this. blk_start_queue() is called under this lock, so interrupts must be disabled. Also document this requirement clearly in blk_init_queue(), where the queue spinlock is set.
