Merge branch 'trivial-2.6.23' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block
* 'trivial-2.6.23' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block: Documentation/block/barrier.txt is not in sync with the actual code: - blk_queue_ordered() no longer has a gfp_mask parameter - blk_queue_ordered_locked() no longer exists - sd_prepare_flush() looks slightly different Use list_for_each_entry() instead of list_for_each() in the block device Make a "menuconfig" out of the Kconfig objects "menu, ..., endmenu", block/Kconfig already has its own "menuconfig" so remove these Use menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at once cfq-iosched: fix async queue behaviour unexport bio_{,un}map_user Remove legacy CDROM drivers [PATCH] fix request->cmd == INT cases cciss: add new controller support for P700m [PATCH] Remove acsi.c [BLOCK] drop unnecessary bvec rewinding from flush_dry_bio_endio [PATCH] cdrom_sysctl_info fix blk_hw_contig_segment(): bad segment size checks [TRIVIAL PATCH] Kill blk_congestion_wait() stub for !CONFIG_BLOCK
