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

- without incurring a read-modify-write penalty. For disk
- drives this is often the physical block size. For RAID
- arrays it is often the stripe chunk size.
