Subject: [GIT PULL] block fixes for 2.6.36-rc5
Hi Linus,
A small batch of fixes. Two important fixes, correcting a bug in the
unified request/bio command flags causing blk_rq_map_kern() to
flag writes incorrectly, and the oops in CFQ with cgroups and a usb key.
The small 3-patch series from Jan fixes a long standing regression
dating back to 2.6.32.
Please pull.

block: fix blk_rq_map_kern bio direction flag
Dan Carpenter (1):
cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error path
Jan Kara (3):
bdi: Initialize noop_backing_dev_info properly
char: Mark /dev/zero and /dev/kmem as not capable of writeback
bdi: Fix warnings in __mark_inode_dirty for /dev/zero and friends
Vivek Goyal (1):
cfq-iosched: fix a kernel OOPs when usb key is inserted
