Since we allocate a temporary buffer in zram_bvec_read to handle partial
page operations in commit 924bd88d703e ("Staging: zram: allow partial
page operations"), our -&gt;failed_reads value may be incorrect as we do
not increase its value when failing to allocate the temporary buffer.

Let's fix this issue and correct the annotation of failed_reads.

Currenly ram disk is not visiable inside /proc/partitions. This was
done for compatibility reasons here: 53978d0a7a27. But some utilities
expect disk presents in /proc/partitions.
Let's add module's option and let's administrator chose visibility behaviour.
By default, old behaviour preserved.

There is no need to init .owner field.

Based on the patch from Peter Griffin &lt;peter.griffin@linaro.org&gt;
"mmc: remove .owner field for drivers using module_platform_driver"

This patch removes the superflous .owner field for drivers which
use the module_platform_driver API, as this is overriden in
platform_driver_register anyway."

Pull DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE removal from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Part two of the PCI changes for v3.17:

    - Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use (Benoit Taine)

  It's a mechanical change that removes uses of the

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing out of the ordinary here, this pull request contains:

   - A big round of fixes for bcache from Kent Overstreet, Slava Pestov,
     and Surbhi Palande.  No new features, just a lot of fixes.

     Ellenberg, and Philipp Reisner.

   - virtio_blk was converted to blk-mq back in 3.13, but now Ming Lei
     has taken it one step further and added support for actually using
     more than one queue.

   - Addition of an explicit SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD for block/bsg, to
     compliment the the default behavior of adding to the tail of the
     queue.  From Douglas Gilbert"

  Yan Zheng has several fixes in here for CephFS fixing ACL handling,
  time stamps, and request resends when the MDS restarts.

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to
meet kernel coding style guidelines.  This issue was reported by checkpatch.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// &lt;smpl&gt;
