Subject: commit 762380a "block: add notion of a chunk size for request
 merging" stops io on btrfs

Hi all,
with 3.16-rc1  rsync stops writing to my btrfs filesystem and stays at a 
D+ state.
git bisect showed that the problematic commit is:

762380ad9322951cea4ce9d24864265f9c66a916 is the first bad commit

     block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging

     Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should
     optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to
     dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver
     to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will
     then prevent merging across the chunks.

     This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size.
