Subject: [23/29] DM: Fix device mapper topology stacking

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@...cle.com>

commit b27d7f16d3c6c27345d4280a739809c1c2c4c0b5 upstream.

Make DM use bdev_stack_limits() function so that partition offsets get
taken into account when calculating alignment.  Clarify stacking
warnings.

Also remove obsolete clearing of final alignment_offset and misalignment
flag.
