FreeBSD no longer does elevator sorts on data pending output, relying instead on the disk hardware to be smarter about this, especially given the likelihood that the drive is lying about its pysical geometry, making it unlikely that any sort you could do would result in an optimization.
Even so, the driver should sort the I/O requests whenever the system's buffer queue for the drive exceeds the capacity of the system/host-adapter/drive for concurrently active commands. Since actual drive "geometry" is usually messy these days, a simple minded sort by block number would be appropriate.
For the record, the quote that you sited above was Terry's, not mine, and in any case doesn't match reality.
As I already stated in a followup; I was mistaken about the code having been diked out in all cases; it was only diked out in some; which ones, I can't tell you right now.
