  dm table: propagate QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE (2014-08-10 20:54:49 -0400)

Please pull, thanks.

----------------------------------------------------------------
. Allow the thin target to paired with any size external origin; also
  allow thin snapshots to be larger than the external origin.

. Add support for quickly loading a repetitive pattern into the
  dm-switch target.

. Use per-bio data in the dm-crypt target instead of always using a
  mempool for each allocation.  Required switching to kmalloc alignment
  for the bio slab.

. Fix DM core to properly stack the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE flag

. Fix the dm-cache and dm-thin targets' export of the minimum_io_size to
  match the data block size -- this fixes an issue where mkfs.xfs would
  improperly infer raid striping was in place on the underlying storage.

. Small cleanups in dm-io, dm-mpath and dm-cache
