Hi Linus,
as detailed below, a few updates for md for 2.6.37.
Nothing really major. The most significant is a few improvements to
allocation of bios so we don't exhaust a global pool and so run the
risk of dead-lock when multiple md devices are stacked, or used with
something else (like swap) that allocates bios from the global pool.
Apart from that, minor bug fixes and clean-up.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
