Subject: [GIT PULL] block bits for 2.6.32-rc5


(Apologies to Linus who will receive this twice, I forgot to CC lkml
 when posting it).

Hi Linus,

This mostly contains a handful of fixes for CFQ. Nothing major, but bugs
none the less. There's also an improvement in the space stripping for
the io scheduler switching, making that behave more consistently. The
buggy read/write in_flight commit is back, this time behaving as it
should. And finally, two minor writeback changes from Wu using
io_schedule() in balance_dirty_pages() to get proper iowait accounting
(we did this in .31 and earlier), and stripping a space in a new entry
in the sysfs debug bdi files to ease parsing.

Please pull!
