Subject: -tip: origin tree boot crash

Today's -tip crashes during bootup on one of my testsystems, and i've bisected 
it back to this commit:

| 5fe878ae7f82fbf0830dbfaee4c5ca18f3aee442 is the first bad commit
| commit 5fe878ae7f82fbf0830dbfaee4c5ca18f3aee442

|    direct-io: cleanup blockdev_direct_IO locking
|
|    Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three
|    different locking types and very confusing checks for some of them.  The
|    most complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not
|    actually be used.

I have no bootlog available currently. The kernel config is attached.

I've reverted the patch from -tip for now.
