Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] block: allow REQ_NOWAIT to some bio-based/stacked
 devices

Here is pretty straight forward attempt of handling REQ_NOWAIT for
bio-based and stacked devices.

They are marked with flag queue->limits.nowait_requests which tells that
queue method make_request() handles REQ_NOWAIT or doesn't delay requests,
and all backend devices do the same.

As a example second/third patches add support into md-raid0 and dm-linear.

Konstantin Khlebnikov (3):
      block: add flag 'nowait_requests' into queue limits
      md/raid0: enable REQ_NOWAIT
      dm: add support for REQ_NOWAIT and enable for target dm-linear
