This series consolidates the documentation for /sys/block/<disk>/queue/

This series also updates MAINTAINERS to associate the block
documentation with the block layer.

This series applies to linux-block/for-next.

Eric Biggers (7):
docs: sysfs-block: sort alphabetically
docs: sysfs-block: add contact for nomerges
docs: sysfs-block: fill in missing documentation from queue-sysfs.rst
docs: sysfs-block: document stable_writes
docs: sysfs-block: document virt_boundary_mask
docs: block: remove queue-sysfs.rst
MAINTAINERS: add entries for block layer documentation

How about adding a patch that moves Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block
to Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-block? The block layer sysfs ABI is used
widely by user space software and is considered stable.

Thanks,

Bart.
