[GIT PULL] Block IO driver changes for 3.2

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Fri Nov 04 2011 - 16:07:18 EST


Hi Linus,

This is the driver part of the 3.2 block IO pull requests. The major
parts are:

- Various bug fixes to xen blkfront/blkback.

- Bug fixes for CISS and hpsa.

- Discard support for loop. This is useful for trimming image size, and
also for finding bugs in the file system discard code.

- Improve virtio-blk disk index allocation scheme by using ida instead.
This avoids a wrapping problem.

- A set of bug fixes for nbd.

This depends on the previous pull request, for-3.2/core.

Please pull!
