I merged patch 10/10 to this one. The updated, and merged
commit message is:

    drbd: Introduce protocol version 100 headers
    
    The 8 byte header finally becomes too small. With the protocol 100 header we
    have 16 bit for the volume number, proper 32 bit for the data length, and
    32 bit for further extensions in the future.
    
    Previous versions of drbd are using version 80 headers for all packets
    short enough for protocol 80.  They support both header versions in
    worker context, but only version 80 headers in asynchronous context.
    For backwards compatibility, continue to use version 80 headers for
    short packets before protocol version 100.
    
    From protocol version 100 on, use the same header version for all
    packets.
