(replying to my own e-mail)

Although it is easy to make q_usage_counter count non-blk-mq requests, 
extending the blk_quiesce_queue() waiting mechanism to the non-blk-mq 
path is non-trivial. To limit the number of changes in this patch series 
I will drop the non-blk-mq changes from this patch series.
