Merge branch 'for-3.2/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
* 'for-3.2/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (30 commits) virtio-blk: use ida to allocate disk index hpsa: add small delay when using PCI Power Management to reset for kump cciss: add small delay when using PCI Power Management to reset for kump xen/blkback: Fix two races in the handling of barrier requests. xen/blkback: Check for proper operation. xen/blkback: Fix the inhibition to map pages when discarding sector ranges. xen/blkback: Report VBD_WSECT (wr_sect) properly. xen/blkback: Support 'feature-barrier' aka old-style BARRIER requests. xen-blkfront: plug device number leak in xlblk_init() error path xen-blkfront: If no barrier or flush is supported, use invalid operation. xen-blkback: use kzalloc() in favor of kmalloc()+memset() xen-blkback: fixed indentation and comments xen-blkfront: fix a deadlock while handling discard response xen-blkfront: Handle discard requests. xen-blkback: Implement discard requests ('feature-discard') xen-blkfront: add BLKIF_OP_DISCARD and discard request struct drivers/block/loop.c: remove unnecessary bdev argument from loop_clr_fd() drivers/block/loop.c: emit uevent on auto release drivers/block/cpqarray.c: use pci_dev->revision loop: always allow userspace partitions and optionally support automatic scanning ... Fic up trivial header file includsion conflict in drivers/block/loop.c

+ * Recognised only if "feature-discard" is present in backend xenbus info.
+ * The "feature-discard" node contains a boolean indicating whether trim
+ * (ATA) or unmap (SCSI) - conviently called discard requests are likely
+ * to succeed or fail. Either way, a discard request
+ * may fail at any time with BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP if it is unsupported by
+ * the underlying block-device hardware. The boolean simply indicates whether
+ * or not it is worthwhile for the frontend to attempt discard requests.
+ * If a backend does not recognise BLKIF_OP_DISCARD, it should *not*
+ * create the "feature-discard" node!
+ *
+ * Discard operation is a request for the underlying block device to mark
+ * extents to be erased. However, discard does not guarantee that the blocks
+ * will be erased from the device - it is just a hint to the device
+ * controller that these blocks are no longer in use. What the device
+ * controller does with that information is left to the controller.
+ * Discard operations are passed with sector_number as the
+ * sector index to begin discard operations at and nr_sectors as the number of
+ * sectors to be discarded. The specified sectors should be discarded if the
+ * underlying block device supports trim (ATA) or unmap (SCSI) operations,
+ * or a BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP should be returned.
+ * More information about trim/unmap operations at:
