Merge branch 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - The 4k/partition fixes for brd from Boaz/Matthew.

   - A few xen front/back block fixes from David Vrabel and Roger Pau
     Monne.

   - Floppy changes from Takashi, cleaning the device file creation.

   - Switching libata to use the new blk-mq tagging policy, removing
     code (and a suboptimal implementation) from libata.  This will
     throw you a merge conflict, since a bug in the original libata
     tagging code was fixed since this code was branched.  Trivial.
     From Shaohua.

   - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei.

   - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra.
     He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a
     beer.

   - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann.

   - NVMe:
        - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for
          smaller (<= 8KB) IO. This cuts about 1% of high IOPS CPU
          overhead.
        - Removal of (now) dead RCU code, a relic from before NVMe was
          converted to blk-mq"

* 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  xen-blkback: default to X86_32 ABI on x86
  xen-blkfront: fix accounting of reqs when migrating
  xen-blkback,xen-blkfront: add myself as maintainer
  block: Simplify bsg complete all
  floppy: Avoid manual call of device_create_file()
  NVMe: avoid kmalloc/kfree for smaller IO
  MAINTAINERS: Update NBD maintainer
  libata: make sata_sil24 use fifo tag allocator
  libata: move sas ata tag allocation to libata-scsi.c
  libata: use blk taging
  NVMe: within nvme_free_queues(), delete RCU sychro/deferred free
  null_blk: suppress invalid partition info
  brd: Request from fdisk 4k alignment
  brd: Fix all partitions BUGs
  axonram: Fix bug in direct_access
  loop: add blk-mq.h include
  block: loop: don't handle REQ_FUA explicitly
  block: loop: introduce lo_discard() and lo_req_flush()
  block: loop: say goodby to bio
  block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq
