Hi Linus,

These changes build on linux-block.git's for-3.20/core branch.

The following changes since commit db507b3ffd9b7a1c87e732ac6e2c3a5d0babb15a:

  dm: fix multipath regression due to initializing wrong request (2015-02-09 10:46:08 -0700)

  dm: inherit QUEUE_FLAG_SG_GAPS flags from underlying queues (2015-02-11 10:25:46 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Most significant change this cycle is request-based DM now supports
  stacking ontop of blk-mq devices.  This blk-mq support changes the
  model request-based DM uses for cloning a request to relying on
  calling blk_get_request() directly from the underlying blk-mq device.
  Early consumer of this code is Intel's emerging NVMe hardware; thanks
  to Keith Busch for working on, and pushing for, these changes.

- A few other small fixes and cleanups across other DM targets.
