Changes from V1:
- rebased on top of the core-for-3.17 branch, most notable the
scsi logging changes
- fixed handling of cmd_list to prevent crashes for some heavy
workloads
- fixed incorrect handling of !target->can_queue
- avoid scheduling a workqueue on I/O completions when no queues
are congested

In addition to the patches in this thread there also is a git
available at:

git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/scsi.git scsi-mq.2


I've pushed out a new scsi-mq.3 branch, which has been rebased on the
latest core-for-3.17 tree + the "RFC: clean up command setup" series
from June 29th. Robert Elliot found a problem with not fully zeroed
out UNMAP CDBs, which is fixed by the saner discard handling in that
series.

There is a new patch to factor the code from the above series for
blk-mq use, which I've attached below. Besides that the only changes
are minor merge fixups in the main blk-mq usage patch.

Be warned: both Rob Elliott and I can easily break
the scsi-mq.3 branch. It seems as though a regression
has slipped in. I notice that Christoph has added a
new branch called "scsi-mq.3-no-rebase".

Rob/Doug, those issues look very much like problems in the aio code. Can either/both of you try with:

f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef
edfbbf388f293d70bf4b7c0bc38774d05e6f711a

reverted (in that order) and see if that changes anything.
