Subject: [GIT PULL] Important fixes for 2.6.38

Hi Linus,

This is a LOT larger than I would like at this point in time,
but all of them are fixing important bugs. Well except the kerneldoc
change, but that is harmless.

- The block BKL conversion introduced a deadlock in loop, since the
mutex isn't recursive like the BKL is. This private mutex isn't
needed, so get rid of it.

- Fix a problem where blktrace does not detect the right request type.
So we miss things like a SYNC tag.

- Fix a bug triggering on IDE due to how we handle flush completions.
This is causing crashes.

- Fix a deadlock in the throttling code due to using kblockd.

Please pull!

git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git for-linus

Ben Hutchings (1):
block: fix kernel-doc format for blkdev_issue_zeroout

Petr Uzel (1):
block: kill loop_mutex

Tao Ma (1):
blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.

Tejun Heo (2):
block: add @force_kblockd to __blk_run_queue()
block: blk-flush shouldn't call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()

Vivek Goyal (1):
blk-throttle: Do not use kblockd workqueue for throtl work
