Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
  Make SCSI SG v4 driver enabled by default and remove EXPERIMENTAL dependency, since udev depends on BSG
  block: Update topology documentation
  block: Stack optimal I/O size
  block: Add a wrapper for setting minimum request size without a queue
  block: Make blk_queue_stack_limits use the new stacking interface
