Subject: linux-next: build warning after merge of the final tree (akpm and
 block tree related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build
produced this warning:

fs/bio.c: In function 'submit_bio_wait':
fs/bio.c:786:17: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

This is due to an interaction between commit 9e882242c ("block: Add
submit_bio_wait(), remove from md") from the block tree and commit
"block: prep work for batch completion" from the akpm tree.

In fact we are getting several more warnings due to that patch in the
akpm tree:

drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c: In function 'write_dirty':
drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c:276:20: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c: In function 'read_dirty':

drivers/md/bcache/super.c: In function 'prio_io':
drivers/md/bcache/super.c:492:17: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

There are probably more ...
