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"
