[GIT PULL] block core bits for 3.4

From: Jens Axboe

Hi Linus,

It's a nice and quiet round this time, since most of the
tricky stuff has been pushed to 3.5 to give it more time
to mature. After a few hectic block IO core changes for
3.3 and 3.2, I'm quite happy with a slow round.

Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making
the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity. The threshold is set so
that it's low enough that we don't hold off IO for too long, but still
big enough to get a nice benefit from the batched insert (and hence
queue lock cost reduction). For raid configurations, this currently
breaks down.

Please pull.
