Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
Make SCSI SG v4 driver enabled by default and remove EXPERIMENTAL dependency, since udev depends on BSG
block: Update topology documentation
block: Stack optimal I/O size
block: Add a wrapper for setting minimum request size without a queue
block: Make blk_queue_stack_limits use the new stacking interface
