[GIT PULL] two block fixes

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Fri Jul 03 2009 - 15:08:53 EST


Hi Linus,

Only two things here - a kexec related cciss fix, and an important fix
from Tejun that could potentially cause data corruption. Please pull.

git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git for-linus

Hannes Reinecke (1):
cciss: Ignore stale commands after reboot

Tejun Heo (1):
block: don't merge requests of different failfast settings
