ehm, i'm not an expert and you certainly have more insight on this, but from 
reading the mentioned changeset and studying the the md sources, it would 
appear that blk_run_queue(q); is the wrong function to use. The md driver at 
least uses the {un}plugging functions to get his work done.

so, to summarise:
linux-2.6.6 will have blk_run_queues() removed causing a missing symbol in the 
drbd module, blk_run_queue(Q) does not work with drbd on md devices, so 
drbd-0.7 will not work with current 2.6 versions.

or did i miss something?

PS: Sorry for being so annoying, but i really want to use drbd-0.7 on 2.6, 
now!
