Merge tag 'v3.13-rc6' into for-3.14/core
Needed to bring blk-mq uptodate, since changes have been going in since for-3.14/core was established. Fixup merge issues related to the immutable biovec changes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Conflicts: block/blk-flush.c fs/btrfs/check-integrity.c fs/btrfs/extent_io.c fs/btrfs/scrub.c fs/logfs/dev_bdev.c
