Thanks for the comments and advice, I'll make a new set of patches
against Linus' tree and post them in when they are ready.

Ok, I had just picked up on the "legacy" word in the option title
and assumed that it meant deprecated.
This is what I've got now:

'Lose' is when you don't win or you've lost something, and 'loose'
is when something isn't tight. I just want to tighten up the

I missed it the first time you posted it, so thanks for resend
ose disks into a RAID
or LVM.
Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.
I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options.
Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF.
Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with
the standard.
