allow thin snapshots to be larger than the external origin.
. Add support for quickly loading a repetitive pattern into the
dm-switch target.
. Use per-bio data in the dm-crypt target instead of always using a
mempool for each allocation. Required switching to kmalloc alignment
for the bio slab.
. Fix DM core to properly stack the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE flag
. Fix the dm-cache and dm-thin targets' export of the minimum_io_size to
match the data block size -- this fixes an issue where mkfs.xfs would
improperly infer raid striping was in place on the underlying storage.
. Small cleanups in dm-io, dm-mpath and dm-cache

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:
- Allow the thin target to paired with any size external origin; also
allow thin snapshots to be larger than the external origin.
- Add support for quickly loading a repetitive pattern into the
dm-switch target.
- Use per-bio data in the dm-crypt target instead of always using a
mempool for each allocation. Required switching to kmalloc alignment
for the bio slab.
- Fix DM core to properly stack the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE flag
- Fix the dm-cache and dm-thin targets' export of the minimum_io_size
to match the data block size -- this fixes an issue where mkfs.xfs
would improperly infer raid striping was in place on the underlying
storage.
- Small cleanups in dm-io, dm-mpath and dm-cache

dm crypt: use per-bio data
block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slab
dm table: make dm_table_supports_discards static
dm cache metadata: use dm-space-map-metadata.h defined size limits
dm cache: fail migrations in the do_worker error path
dm cache: simplify deferred set reference count increments
dm thin: relax external origin size constraints
dm thin: switch to an atomic_t for tracking pending new block preparations
