+dnl # 2.6.36 API change
+dnl # In 2.6.36 kernels the blk_queue_ordered() interface has been
+dnl # replaced by the simpler blk_queue_flush(). However, while the
+dnl # old interface was available to all the new one is GPL-only.
+dnl # Thus in addition to detecting if this function is available
+dnl # we determine if it is GPL-only. If the GPL-only interface is
+dnl # there we implement our own compatibility function, otherwise
+dnl # we use the function. The hope is that long term this function
+dnl # will be opened up.
