Merge tag 'dm-3.6-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm

Pull device-mapper updates from Alasdair G Kergon:
- Flip the thin target into new read-only or failed modes if errors
  are detected;
- Handle chunk sizes that are not powers of two in the snapshot and
  thin targets;
- Provide a way for userspace to avoid replacing an already-loaded
  multipath hardware handler while booting;
- Reduce dm_thin_endio_hook slab size to avoid allocation failures;
- Numerous small changes and cleanups to the code.
