Which follow on commit are you referring to?  Please be specific about
which commits you think are out of order.

Also, what are you testing... are you using the linux-dm.git tree's
'dm-for-3.20' branch which builds on Jens' 'for-3.20/core'?

If not please test that and see if you still have problems (without the
associated DM changes all the block preparation changes that Jens
cherry-picked shouldn't cause any problems at all).
