Merge branch 'for-3.17/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing out of the ordinary here, this pull request contains:

   - A big round of fixes for bcache from Kent Overstreet, Slava Pestov,
     and Surbhi Palande.  No new features, just a lot of fixes.

   - The usual round of drbd updates from Andreas Gruenbacher, Lars
     Ellenberg, and Philipp Reisner.

   - virtio_blk was converted to blk-mq back in 3.13, but now Ming Lei
     has taken it one step further and added support for actually using
     more than one queue.

   - Addition of an explicit SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD for block/bsg, to
     compliment the the default behavior of adding to the tail of the
     queue.  From Douglas Gilbert"

* 'for-3.17/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (86 commits)
