Hi Jens, this series contains a bunch of different BDI cleanups. The biggest item is to isolate block drivers from the BDI in preparation of changing the lifetime of the block device BDI in a follow up series. Note that this is based on top of the "a fix and two cleanups around blk_stack_limits" series sent earlier.
