Pull xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - mechanism to work with misconfigured backends (where they are
   advertised but in reality don't exist).
 - two tiny compile warning fixes.
 - proper error handling in gnttab_resume
 - Not using VM_PFNMAP anymore to allow backends in the same domain.

Pull virtio fixes from Michael S. Tsirkin:
 "Here are some virtio fixes for 3.4: a test build fix, a patch by Ren
  fixing naming for systems with a massive number of virtio blk devices,
  and balloon fixes for powerpc by David Gibson.

  There was some discussion about Ren's patch for virtio disc naming:
  some people wanted to move the legacy name mangling function to the
  block core.  But there's no concensus on that yet, and we can always
  deduplicate later.  Added comments in the hope that this will stop
  people from copying this legacy naming scheme into future drivers."

Pull block driver bits from Jens Axboe:

 - A series of fixes for mtip32xx.  Most from Asai at Micron, but also
   one from Greg, getting rid of the dependency on PCIE_HOTPLUG.

 - A few bug fixes for xen-blkfront, and blkback.

 - A virtio-blk fix for Vivek, making resize actually work.

 - Two fixes from Stephen, making larger transfers possible on cciss.
   This is needed for tape drive support.

* 'for-3.4/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: mtip32xx: remove HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE dependancy
  mtip32xx: dump tagmap on failure
  mtip32xx: fix handling of commands in various scenarios
  mtip32xx: Shorten macro names
  mtip32xx: misc changes
  mtip32xx: Add new sysfs entry 'status'
  mtip32xx: make setting comp_time as common
  mtip32xx: Add new bitwise flag 'dd_flag'
  mtip32xx: fix error handling in mtip_init()
  virtio-blk: Call revalidate_disk() upon online disk resize
  xen/blkback: Make optional features be really optional.
  xen/blkback: Squash the discard support for 'file' and 'phy' type.
  mtip32xx: fix incorrect value set for drv_cleanup_done, and re-initialize and start port in mtip_restart_port()
  cciss: Fix scsi tape io with more than 255 scatter gather elements
  cciss: Initialize scsi host max_sectors for tape drive support
  xen-blkfront: make blkif_io_lock spinlock per-device
  xen/blkfront: don't put bdev right after getting it
  xen-blkfront: use bitmap_set() and bitmap_clear()
  xen/blkback: Enable blkback on HVM guests
  xen/blkback: use grant-table.c hypercall wrappers

The current virtio block's naming algorithm just supports 18278
(26^3 + 26^2 + 26) disks. If there are more virtio blocks,
there will be disks with the same name.

Based on commit 3e1a7ff8a0a7b948f2684930166954f9e8e776fe, add
a function "virtblk_name_format()" for virtio block to support mass
of disks naming.

Notes:
- Our naming scheme is ugly. We are stuck with it
  for virtio but don't use it for any new driver:
  new drivers should name their devices PREFIX%d
  where the sequence number can be allocated by ida
- sd_format_disk_name has exactly the same logic.
  Moving it to a central place was deferred over worries
  that this will make people keep using the legacy naming
  in new drivers.
  We kept code idential in case someone wants to deduplicate later.
