Subject: [GIT PULL] Block IO bits for 3.2-rc2

Hi Linus,

Here's the collection of block IO related fixes for the next -rc
release.

- Improve coverage of the blk_rq_map_user_iov() segment length checking,
  we should continue checking even after seeing unaligned entries.

- Fix for two potential memory leaks, in paride and loop.

- Two fixes for cciss. Disable ASPM always, similarly to what Windows
  does. And auto-engage the SCSI support, if it's been selected.

- Fix for missing bdi timer deletion in bdi_destroy().

- Revert of the nasty write-once disk alias hack that went into 3.2-rc1.
  Lets kill it now before we are stuck with this interface forever.

- Few other minor fixups and cleanups.

Please pull!
