Linus Torvalds 237045fc3c Merge branch 'for-4.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for this merge window.  It sits
  on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.

  This contains:

   - A set of fixes for lightnvm.  One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
     and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.

   - A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
     for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.

   - A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.

   - A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.

   - Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
     transferred ownership.

   - Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.

   - Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.

   - Removal of the cpqarray driver.  It has been disabled in Kconfig
     since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.

   - Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:

        - Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
          watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.

        - Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.

        - Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.

        - Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
          PCI device name, from Sagi.

        - And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
          in this area"
