Merge tag 'dm-3.20-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

 - The most significant change this cycle is request-based DM now
   supports stacking ontop of blk-mq devices.  This blk-mq support
   changes the model request-based DM uses for cloning a request to
   relying on calling blk_get_request() directly from the underlying
   blk-mq device.

   An early consumer of this code is Intel's emerging NVMe hardware;
   thanks to Keith Busch for working on, and pushing for, these changes.

 - A few other small fixes and cleanups across other DM targets.
