Didn't we agree last time that drbd just wasn't important enough to
*constantly* cause these kinds of "lots of late fixes"?

In fact, they aren't even fixes. There's a single small commit during
the merge window since v3.6 touching that driver, and it wasn't even
drbd-specific.

In other words, I see absolutely no reason to pull this stuff at this
time. It's so far out of the merge window that it's not funny, and it
has absolutely nothing about it that says "fixes".

So mind sending just the actual *fixes* for actual regressions, and
then you can re-push this for the next merge window?
