Subject: [GIT PULL] block fixes for 2.6.31-rc4

Hello, Linus.

Please consider pulling from the following temp block fixes tree.  It
can be merged into the current #master without any conflict.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git tj-block-for-linus

The tree contains five fixes I've collected since last week.

* Two patches deal with build problems (spurious section mismatch
  warning and unnecessary NULL check).

* Fix z2ram unregistering more minors than it registers.

* Fix incorrect merge test resulting from comparing flag bits directly
  when the boolean result should be compared.  This was introduced by
  recent block layer fix to avoid merging requests of different
  failfast settings and may prevent valid merges.

* /sys/block/*/queue/read_ahead_kb used unsigned long on store but
  used int on show and thus showed overflowed values if the value was
  large enough.  Fix it to use unsigned long.

I'll be unavailable from tomorrow but Jens will be back next week.

Thanks.
