* 'for-2.6.29' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: (43 commits)
  bio: get rid of bio_vec clearing
  bounce: don't rely on a zeroed bio_vec list
  cciss: simplify parameters to deregister_disk function
  cfq-iosched: fix race between exiting queue and exiting task
  loop: Do not call loop_unplug for not configured loop device.
  loop: Flush possible running bios when loop device is released.
  alpha: remove dead BIO_VMERGE_BOUNDARY
  Get rid of CONFIG_LSF
  block: make blk_softirq_init() static
  block: use min_not_zero in blk_queue_stack_limits
  block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup
  cfq-iosched: remove limit of dispatch depth of max 4 times quantum
  nbd: tell the block layer that it is not a rotational device
  block: get rid of elevator_t typedef
  aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless
  bio: add support for inlining a number of bio_vecs inside the bio
  bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_set
  bio: move the slab pointer inside the bio_set
  bio: only mempool back the largest bio_vec slab cache
  block: don't use plugging on SSD devices
