Only remaining issue is the queue dying race(s) in dm-multipath.

Thanks Mike! Two minor comments though:
* In dm_start_queue(), I think that the queue_flag_clear_unlocked()
  call should be converted into queue_flag_clear() and that it should
  be protected by the block layer queue lock. Every call of
  queue_flag_clear_unlocked() after block device initialization has
  finished is wrong if blk_cleanup_queue() can be called concurrently.
* I think that adding blk_mq_{freeze,unfreeze}_queue() calls in
  dm_stop_queue() not only allows to remove the "queue stopped" test
  from dm_mq_queue_rq() but also that it allows to remove that test
  from dm_mq_requeue_request().

Bart.
