Merge branch 'for-3.2/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

* 'for-3.2/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (29 commits)
  block: don't call blk_drain_queue() if elevator is not up
  blk-throttle: use queue_is_locked() instead of lockdep_is_held()
  blk-throttle: Take blkcg->lock while traversing blkcg->policy_list
  blk-throttle: Free up policy node associated with deleted rule
  block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth.
  block: make gendisk hold a reference to its queue
  blk-flush: move the queue kick into
  blk-flush: fix invalid BUG_ON in blk_insert_flush
  block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.
  block: fix a typo in the blk-cgroup.h file
  block: initialize the bounce pool if high memory may be added later
  block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() properly shutdown
  block: drop @tsk from attempt_plug_merge() and explain sync rules
  block: make get_request[_wait]() fail if queue is dead
  block: reorganize throtl_get_tg() and blk_throtl_bio()
  block: reorganize queue draining
  block: drop unnecessary blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and blk_get_tg()
  block: pass around REQ_* flags instead of broken down booleans during request alloc/free
  block: move blk_throtl prototypes to block/blk.h
  block: fix genhd refcounting in blkio_policy_parse_and_set()
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts due to "mddev_t" -> "struct mddev" conversion
and making the request functions be of type "void" instead of "int" in
