    sys/dev/disk/nata    ata-all.h ata-queue.c 
  Log:
  Fix a system performance issue created by ata_sort_queue().  This function
  implements an elevator sort but it also allows requests to be delayed
  indefinitely when other requests continually get inserted in front of them.
  HAMMER's almost log-linear writing really exposes this issue.
  
  The fix is to count how many times a request got delayed due to an insertion.
  If the count exceeds 8, the new request is placed at the end of the queue and
  set as the new freeze point.
