Merge branch 'for-3.11/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO driver bits from Jens Axboe:
"As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life
circumstances the driver pull request would be late. Now it looks
like -rc2 late... On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these
are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as
they are fixes and not features. So even though things are late, it's
not ALL bad.
The pull request contains:
- Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent.
- A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!).
- xen blk front/back fixes.
- rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10. So should be
well cooked by now"
