Hi Linus,

Smaller set of DM changes for this merge.  I've based these changes on
Jens' for-4.4/reservations branch because the associated DM changes
required it.

The following changes since commit a6dd1020d8ac55782f3e04856644cf68765f8c1b:

  nvme: add missing endianess annotations in nvme_pr_command (2015-10-22 09:15:48 -0600)

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm tags/dm-4.4-changes

for you to fetch changes up to aad9ae4550755edc020b5c511a8b54f0104b2f47:

  dm switch: simplify conditional in alloc_region_table() (2015-10-31 19:06:06 -0400)

Please pull, thanks.
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Revert a dm-multipath change that caused a regression for unprivledged
  users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a multipath device had
  no available paths.

- Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add support
  for passing through persistent reservations with DM multipath.

- All other changes are very simple cleanups.
