Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-2.6-dm
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-2.6-dm:
dm raid1: fix deadlock when suspending failed device
dm: eliminate some holes data structures
dm ioctl: introduce flag indicating uevent was generated
dm: free dm_io before bio_endio not after
dm table: remove unused dm_get_device range parameters
dm ioctl: only issue uevent on resume if state changed
dm raid1: always return error if all legs fail
dm mpath: refactor pg_init
dm mpath: wait for pg_init completion when suspending
dm mpath: hold io until all pg_inits completed
dm mpath: avoid storing private suspended state
dm: document when snapshot has finished merging
dm table: remove dm_get from dm_table_get_md
dm mpath: skip activate_path for failed paths
dm mpath: pass struct pgpath to pg init done
