This is a respin of the AIO patches that were deferred until 3.11, along
with some other stuff I had queued up.
Changes:
* Took the dynamic allocation stuff out of the percpu refcounting
patch, which Tejun was wanting. I split the dynamic bits out into
another patch, which I may resend later.
* Changed batch completion to use a singly linked list instead of an rb
tree; it now calls batch_complete_aio() early if it has to look too
far down the list.
* Some batch completion performance improvements, to avoid doing nested
irqsave/restore (which was the source of a performance regression)
and not free the kiocbs with irqs disabled.
* There's also some more assorted refactoring/minor performance
improvements that had been sitting in my tree for awhile but weren't in
the patch series that was queued up for 3.10
* And, the last few patches add cancellation for direct IO; these
patches are still preliminary but they do work and are useful for
some simple use cases.
