    Merge branch 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block · 9228ff90
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
     "Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8.  The
      branch contains:
    
       - A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
         window.  Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
         there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
         situation on individual pulls can be improved.
    
       - A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
    
       - Queue improvement for loop from Lukas.  This grew into adding a
         generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
         lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
         also using it.
    
       - A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
    
       - Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
         to be used as an identifier."
