[PATCH][2.4] Miniscule block and kstat optimisation

[PATCH][2.4] Miniscule block and kstat optimisation

[Alan Swanson]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 433 bytes --]

Involving a (very) tiny speed-up in ll_rw_blk, by shifting the
calculation to proc, and saving memory from a now unused array.

It's basically a very small subset of my diskio patch for /proc/stat in
the 2.4 kernel.

Can someone pass this to Marcelo as there are no real maintainers for
the files touched. I've tried submitting directly but without response.
