Jens,

As Christoph suggested, I am sending the patches against the block
tree for merge since the block layer changes had the most conflicts.
My tree is at https://github.com/goldwynr/linux/tree/nowait-block

I can merge it for 4.13, but I need Al to be happy with it first.

FWIW, it's really a matter of who gets more conflicts - I'm OK with the
general shape of that code and it could go through either tree (or both,
for that matter, if an immutable branch is promised).

I'm still hopeful that the write hint patchset will make it as well,
which will definitely conflict with this. So if you don't mind, I'd
like to queue it through the block tree. The block for-4.x/ branches
are not rebased.
