This patch adds plug/unplug callouts for iblock. For an initiator driver like iSCSI which wants to pass multiple cmds to its xmit thread instead of one cmd at a time, this increases IOPS by around 10% with vhost-scsi (combined with the last patches we can see a total 40-50% increase). For driver combos like tcm_loop and faster drivers like the iSER initiator, we can still see IOPS increase by 20-30% when tcm_loop's nr_hw_queues setting is also increased.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
