Running a queue causes the block layer to examine the per-CPU and
hw queues but not the requeue list. Hence add a 'kick' operation
that also examines the requeue list.
The naming of these operations isn't super intuitive, but it makes
enough sense if you know the code, I guess.
I don't worry about that too much, but I do think it's important
that we have some way of knowing WHAT commands are available
for a given kernel, without having to consult the source. It's
no big deal you're running the latest and greatest debug kernels,
but it's a bigger issue if you're debugging kernel x.y.z for
a customer and you have to consult the source to find them.

Can we include it in the show output?
