[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Asias He <asias@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f65ca1dc6a8c81c6bd72297d4399ec5f4c1f3a01 upstream.

Benchmark shows small performance improvement on fusion io device.

Before:
  seq-read : io=1,024MB, bw=19,982KB/s, iops=39,964, runt= 52475msec
  seq-write: io=1,024MB, bw=20,321KB/s, iops=40,641, runt= 51601msec
  rnd-read : io=1,024MB, bw=15,404KB/s, iops=30,808, runt= 68070msec
  rnd-write: io=1,024MB, bw=14,776KB/s, iops=29,552, runt= 70963msec

After:
  seq-read : io=1,024MB, bw=20,343KB/s, iops=40,685, runt= 51546msec
  seq-write: io=1,024MB, bw=20,803KB/s, iops=41,606, runt= 50404msec
  rnd-read : io=1,024MB, bw=16,221KB/s, iops=32,442, runt= 64642msec
  rnd-write: io=1,024MB, bw=15,199KB/s, iops=30,397, runt= 68991msec
