Subject: [GIT PULL] Block IO core bits for 3.11

Hi Linus,

Here are the core IO block bits for 3.11. It contains:

- A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with
  just 3 free tags. But for those it improves things substantially for
  random writes.

- Periodic writeback fix from Jan. Marked for stable as well.

- Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng.

- The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun. This is the grunt of
  the series.

- blk-throttle fix from Vivek.

Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is
flying out tomorrow. Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week,
but back at work again on Monday the 15th. CC'ing Tejun, since any
potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work. But
it's been brewing for a while and sitting in my tree and linux-next for
a long time, so should be solid.

Please pull!
