Generally looks good but needs some fixes (see my other mails).

Good question, how's about:

Once tj/block-unify-sector-and-data_len is in block/for-2.6.31 and your tree
is ready I will pull it into the separate branch. This branch can be then
pulled into ide/for-next or into new ide/all branch (replacing ide/for-next
in linux-next).

This means that I'll have to synchronize merge window merges with Jens but
this is needed already and shouldn't be a problem.

If somebody [ Tejun/Jens: I'm talking to you :) ] has a better idea how to
handle this please stand-up.

Thanks,
Bart
