Subject: [git pull] device-mapper changes for 3.11

Please pull from:
 
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm tags/dm-3.11-changes

to get the following device-mapper changes for 3.11.

Thanks,
Alasdair


----------------------------------------------------------------
Add a device-mapper target called dm-switch to provide a multipath
framework for storage arrays that dynamically reconfigure their
preferred paths for different device regions.

Fix a bug in the verity target that prevented its use with some
specific sizes of devices.

Improve some locking mechanisms in the device-mapper core and bufio.

Add Mike Snitzer as a device-mapper maintainer.

A few more clean-ups and fixes.
