Subject: [GIT PULL] followup block pull request

Hi Linus,

Includes the fix from Eric to resolve the infinite loop in looking up /
creating an IO context for an exiting task.

Also a bunch of mtip32xx patches. Fairly trivial stuff.  It's fairly new
though, but no point in keeping it out of the tree until 3.6 imho. I've
thrown it through basic testing locally as well, works fine. The one
contentious part is the patch that Greg complained about (sysfs file
with multiple values, should be a debugfs file), which is perfectly
valid, but not a regression from what the file contains now. That will
be fixed up separately.
