The 'devel3' was just a temporary branch I was using during
development.  I've since staged all the changes in linux-next via
linux-dm.git's 'for-next' branch:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=for-next

If you could test this 'for-next' and report back I'd appreciate it.
It'd build my confidence in pushing these changes once the 4.6 merge
window opens.

That said, these changes have held up to Junichi's test suite.  WHich
I've now staged here (until I get around to porting them over to
device-mapper-test-suite): https://github.com/snitm/mptest

As for code review, please have a good look at this commit:
   b3c39bf1d dm mpath: convert from spinlock to RCU for most locking

If you find anything feel free to share an incremental fix and I'll get
it reviewed/staged.

(Junichi I'd welcome your review of all these request-based DM core and
multipath changes too)

Thanks,
Mike
