- blk-mq request-based DM no longer uses any mempools now that partial
completions are no longer handled as part of cloned requests
- DM raid cleanups and support for MD raid0
- DM cache core advances and a new stochastic-multi-queue (smq) cache
replacement policy
- smq is the new default dm-cache policy
- DM thinp cleanups and much more efficient large discard support
- DM statistics support for request-based DM and nanosecond resolution
timestamps
- Fixes to DM stripe, DM log-writes, DM raid1 and DM crypt
