[GIT PULL] Core block bits for 2.6.40

[Jens Axboe]

Hi Linus,

A real pull request this time. These are the core bits for the next
kernel. Nothing exciting in here in this round, with the churn in
the last release, this release will be mellow.

- Optimizations for queue flushing on SATA devices, where we
  can't queue a FLUSH command. This fixes up a performance regression
  caused by a bug fix to prevent potential live lock on adding
  FLUSH commands at the head of the queue.

- Make stats lockless for blk-cgroup.

- Various bug fixes for blk-cgroup.

- Various little fixes and improvements to CFQ.

- Last round of media event changes.

- Fixes for discard topology reporting and sysfs documentation update
  for the same.

- Add support for batched discards. This greatly speeds up discarding
  an entire device.

- Fix for bad return value in the discard ioctl.

- Remove request plug state debug checks. Haven't triggered even during
  the 2.6.39-rc devel cycle, so get rid of them.


Please pull!
