Merge tag 'dm-3.10-changes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm
Pull device-mapper updates from Alasdair Kergon:
"Allow devices that hold metadata for the device-mapper thin
provisioning target to be extended easily; allow WRITE SAME on
multipath devices; an assortment of little fixes and clean-ups."
