    Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
     "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
      that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
      often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
      always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
      when that happens.
    
      That said, this contains:
    
       - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
         Christoph.
    
       - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.
    
       - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
         op/flags change in the core branch.
    
       - map and append request fixes from Christoph.
    
       - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty
         exciting!
    
       - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.
    
       - removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
         device_add_disk() helper.
    
       - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.
    
       - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchann...
