Merge branch 'for-3.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:

 - Making the plugging support for drivers a bit more sane from Neil.
   This supersedes the plugging change from Shaohua as well.

 - The usual round of drbd updates.

 - Using a tail add instead of a head add in the request completion for
   ndb, making us find the most completed request more quickly.

 - A few floppy changes, getting rid of a duplicated flag and also
   running the floppy init async (since it takes forever in boot terms)
   from Andi.

* 'for-3.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  floppy: remove duplicated flag FD_RAW_NEED_DISK
  blk: pass from_schedule to non-request unplug functions.
  block: stack unplug
  blk: centralize non-request unplug handling.
  md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging.
  block/nbd: micro-optimization in nbd request completion
  drbd: announce FLUSH/FUA capability to upper layers
  drbd: fix max_bio_size to be unsigned
  drbd: flush drbd work queue before invalidate/invalidate remote
  drbd: fix potential access after free
  drbd: call local-io-error handler early
  drbd: do not reset rs_pending_cnt too early
  drbd: reset congestion information before reporting it in /proc/drbd
  drbd: report congestion if we are waiting for some userland callback
  drbd: differentiate between normal and forced detach
  drbd: cleanup, remove two unused global flags
  floppy: Run floppy initialization asynchronous
