Subject: [git pull] 3.7 device-mapper changes

Please pull from:
 
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm tags/dm-3.7-changes
 
to get the following device-mapper changes for 3.7.

Thanks,
Alasdair

----------------------------------------------------------------
Remove the power-of-2 block size constraint on discards in dm thin
provisioning and factor the bio_prison code out into a separate
module (for sharing with the forthcoming cache target).

Use struct bio's front_pad to eliminate the use of one separate mempool
by bio-based devices.

A few other tiny clean-ups.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Snitzer (3):
      dm thin: support discard with non power of two block size
      dm thin: prepare to separate bio_prison code
      dm thin: move bio_prison code to separate module

Mikulas Patocka (2):
      dm: use ACCESS_ONCE for sysfs values
      dm: store dm_target_io in bio front_pad

Wei Yongjun (3):
      dm mpath: fix check for null mpio in end_io fn
      dm bufio: use list_move
      dm persistent data: convert to use le32_add_cpu
