Subject: [GIT PULL] Block IO bits for 3.3-rc

Hi Linus,

See below for the initial 3.3-rc1 git pull request in the block IO area.
Not too much queued up for this round, mostly some code churn to improve
some of the existing functionality.

It has the following changes:

- The big io context cleanup from Tejun.

- Remove duplicated block plug in mpage_readpages(). read_pages()
  already does the plugging, and it's the only call path to
  mpage_readpages().

- ioctl to query rotational nature of a device from Martin.

- Getting rid of the bio integrity macros, use proper functions instead.

- Recursive merging was added and then disabled, it's suspected to be
  our cause for empty cfqq crashes. It'll be re-enabled once we get to
  the bottom of this.


Please pull!
