Linus Torvalds afad97eee4 - Most extensive changes this cycle are the DM core improvements to add
full blk-mq support to request-based DM.
   - disabled by default but user can opt-in with CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT
   - depends on some blk-mq changes from Jens' for-4.1/core branch so
     that explains why this pull is built on linux-block.git
 
 - Update DM to use name_to_dev_t() rather than open-coding a less
   capable device parser.
   - includes a couple small improvements to name_to_dev_t() that offer
     stricter constraints that DM's code provided.
 
 - Improvements to the dm-cache "mq" cache replacement policy.
 
 - A DM crypt crypt_ctr() error path fix and an async crypto deadlock fix.
 
 - A small efficiency improvement for DM crypt decryption by leveraging
   immutable biovecs.
 
 - Add error handling modes for corrupted blocks to DM verity.
 
 - A new "log-writes" DM target from Josef Bacik that is meant for
   file system developers to test file system integrity at particular
   points in the life of a file system.
 
 - A few DM log userspace cleanups and fixes.
 
 - A few Documentation fixes (for thin, cache, crypt and switch).
