As discussed on IRC, blk-mq saw an update in -next.
The interface as changed bit, I've adopted my patches and pushed them to:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc.git ubiblock-mq
This tree is linux-ubifs.git plus linux-block.git for-next.

I'll resend this updated patches after the merge window has closed.
Happy testing. :-)
