For the benefit of others, here are your r17 changes relative to r16.  I
have some early questions/comments:

- What is going on with EXPORT_SYMBOL at the top of drivers/md/dm-bufio.c?  
  Do you intend to have a standalone dm-bufio module?  I think it makes
  sense to go one way or another.  As is you're in limbo; the name of
  the _init and _exit functions don't _really_ make sense given that it
  isn't a standalone module (e.g. dm_bufio_module_init).  Makes the
  calling code in dm-multisnap-mikulas.c somewhat awkward (calling
  another _{module_init,exit}).  Especially when you consider
  dm_bufio_module_exit() doesn't do anything; yet you've reworked
  dm_multisnapshot_mikulas_module_init() to call it.

- Please don't introduce long lines as you make new changes.  Below, the
  following functions have unnecessarily long lines:
  get_memory_limit, dm_bufio_alloc_buffer_data, dm_bufio_module_init

- The empty newline between comment blocks and functions should be
  removed, see: get_memory_limit, adjust_client_count, dm_bufio_module_exit
