SubjectWhat's in linux-2.6-block.git for 2.6.24
Hi,

This details the contents of the block git repo of items that are bound
for a 2.6.24 merge. The SCSI data buffer accessor patch from Tomo will
also be going in through the block tree, but it's not merged up yet.
That's mainly due to my laziness, not because the code isn't ready. That
will happen sometime during today.

Misc bits:
- Various bug fixes from Neil Brown, part of his larger patchset for
allowing arbitrarily sized bios.
- Various little bug fixes and documentation updates.

Barriers:
- The empty bio barrier patches from me. These allow sending down a bio
with no data attached, for insertion a barrier in a request queue.
They are useful for dm and md, but also cleans up the sync
blkdev_issue_flush() interface - it's now no longer an addon hack, but
just a natural use of empty bio barriers.

SG chaining bits:
- This is the bulk of the patchset. It consists of three major
components:

- sglist-core, which add helpers for iterating sg lists and
switches the block layer and SCSI to use those. Should not
have any functional changes.
- sglist-drivers, which converts drivers to use the sg list
helpers. Again, should not contain functional changes.
- sglist-arch, which adds support to most architectures and
actually enables sg chaining.

The goal of sg chaining is to allow support for very large sgtables,
without requiring that they be allocated from one contigious piece of
memory.
