Merge branch 'for-2.6.39/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block

* 'for-2.6.39/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: (65 commits)
  Documentation/iostats.txt: bit-size reference etc.
  cfq-iosched: removing unnecessary think time checking
  cfq-iosched: Don't clear queue stats when preempt.
  blk-throttle: Reset group slice when limits are changed
  blk-cgroup: Only give unaccounted_time under debug
  cfq-iosched: Don't set active queue in preempt
  block: fix non-atomic access to genhd inflight structures
  block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush
  block: NULL dereference on error path in __blkdev_get()
  cfq-iosched: Don't update group weights when on service tree
  fs: assign sb->s_bdi to default_backing_dev_info if the bdi is going away
  block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempool
  jbd2: finish conversion from WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to WRITE_SYNC and explicit plugging
  jbd: finish conversion from WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to WRITE_SYNC and explicit plugging
  fs: make fsync_buffers_list() plug
  mm: make generic_writepages() use plugging
  blk-cgroup: Add unaccounted time to timeslice_used.
  block: fixup plugging stubs for !CONFIG_BLOCK
  block: remove obsolete comments for blkdev_issue_zeroout.
  blktrace: Use rq->cmd_flags directly in blk_add_trace_rq.
  ...
