Merge branch 'for-2.6.37/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'for-2.6.37/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: (39 commits) cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments block: Turn bvec_k{un,}map_irq() into static inline functions block: fix accounting bug on cross partition merges block: Make the integrity mapped property a bio flag block: Fix double free in blk_integrity_unregister block: Ensure physical block size is unsigned int blkio-throttle: Fix possible multiplication overflow in iops calculations blkio-throttle: limit max iops value to UINT_MAX blkio-throttle: There is no need to convert jiffies to milli seconds blkio-throttle: Fix link failure failure on i386 blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit change blkio: Add root group to td->tg_list blkio: deletion of a cgroup was causes oops blkio: Do not export throttle files if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=n block: set the bounce_pfn to the actual DMA limit rather than to max memory block: revert bad fix for memory hotplug causing bounces Fix compile error in blk-exec.c for !CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK block: set the bounce_pfn to the actual DMA limit rather than to max memory block: Prevent hang_check firing during long I/O cfq: improve fsync performance for small files ... Fix up trivial conflicts due to __rcu sparse annotation in include/linux/genhd.h
