Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Distilled down version of bug fixes for 3.7.  The patches have been
  well tested.  If you notice that commit dates are from today, it's
  because I pulled less important bits out and shuffled them into the
  3.8 mix.  Apart from that, no changes, base still the same.

  It contains:

   - Fix for aoe, don't run request_fn while it's plugged.

   - Fix for a regression in floppy since 3.6, which causes problems if
     no floppy is found.

   - Stable fix for blk_exec(), don't touch a request after it has been
     sent to the scheduler (and the device as well).

   - Five fixes for various nasties in mtip32xx."
