Merge branch 'for-2.6.32' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'for-2.6.32' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: (29 commits) block: use blkdev_issue_discard in blk_ioctl_discard Make DISCARD_BARRIER and DISCARD_NOBARRIER writes instead of reads block: don't assume device has a request list backing in nr_requests store block: Optimal I/O limit wrapper cfq: choose a new next_req when a request is dispatched Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests aoe: end barrier bios with EOPNOTSUPP block: trace bio queueing trial only when it occurs block: enable rq CPU completion affinity by default cfq: fix the log message after dispatched a request block: use printk_once cciss: memory leak in cciss_init_one() splice: update mtime and atime on files block: make blk_iopoll_prep_sched() follow normal 0/1 return convention cfq-iosched: get rid of must_alloc flag block: use interrupts disabled version of raise_softirq_irqoff() block: fix comment in blk-iopoll.c block: adjust default budget for blk-iopoll block: fix long lines in block/blk-iopoll.c block: add blk-iopoll, a NAPI like approach for block devices ...
