    Pull libata update from Tejun Heo:
     "AHCI is getting per-port irq handling and locks for better
      scalability.  The gain is not huge but measureable with multiple high
      iops devices connected to the same host; however, the value of
      threaded IRQ handling seems negligible for AHCI and it likely will
      revert to non-threaded handling soon.
    
      Another noteworthy change is George Spelvin's "libata: Un-break ATA
      blacklist".  During 3.17 devel cycle, the libata blacklist glob
      matching got generalized and rewritten; unfortunately, the patch
      forgot to swap arguments to match the new match function and ended up
      breaking blacklist matching completely.  It got noticed only a couple
      days ago so it couldn't make for-3.17-fixes either.  :(
    
      Other than the above two, nothing too interesting - the usual cleanup
      churns and device-specific changes"
