Merge branch 'for-3.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe:
 "Core block IO bits for 3.7.  Not a huge round this time, it contains:

   - First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation
     and freeing.

   - WRITE_SAME support from Martin.

   - Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes
     the block size of a device.

   - Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).

   - A few other minor fixups."

Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton.  It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6ac: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").

So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.
