Hi Jens,
 could I get some feed-back about your thoughts on this series?
 Will you apply it?  When?  Do I need to resend anything?
 Would you like a git-pull request?  If so, what should I base it on?
 There is a minor conflict with drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c
 as it dropped the call to blk_queue_split() recently, but otherwise it
 still applies.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
