    Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
     "This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19.  Not
      a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:
    
       - Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
         dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API.  From Arianna
         Avanzini.
    
       - Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:
    
            - A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
              handling.
    
            - Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.
    
            - Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
              requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.
    
            - A few tag and request handling updates from me.
    
            - Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.
    
            - Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.
    
            - Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
              location, from Shaohua.
    
            - Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
              prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
              weren't online when a queue was registered.
    
       - Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun.  Queued with
         the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.
    
       - Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
         Maurizio.  Hope the Xth time is the charm.
    
       - Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.
    
       - Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
         drivers, from Gu Zheng.
    
       - Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
         Christoph"
