Pull NVMe updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Last branch for this series is the nvme changes.  It's in a separate
  branch to avoid splitting too much between core and NVMe changes,
  since NVMe is still helping drive some blk-mq changes.  That said, not
  a huge amount of core changes in here.  The grunt of the work is the
  continued split of the code"

* 'for-4.5/nvme' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (67 commits)
  uapi: update install list after nvme.h rename
  NVMe: Export NVMe attributes to sysfs group

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in
  drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull.

  The cores changes include:

   - blk-mq
        - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to
          take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep.
        - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy
          and blk-mq for timer usage.
        - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse
          of CPU masks.

   - Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open
     coding it.

   - From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds,
     and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put.

   - A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith.  We
     yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works.

   - From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split.

   - From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory
     that is already cleared"

* 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding
  block: split bios to max possible length
  block: add call to split trace point
  blk-mq: Avoid memoryless numa node encoded in hctx numa_node
  blk-mq: Reuse hardware context cpumask for tags
  blk-mq: add a flags parameter to blk_mq_alloc_request
  Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required"
  block: clarify blk_add_timer() use case for blk-mq
  bio: use offset_in_page macro
  block: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
  block: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL
  block: rename request_queue slab cache

Adds all controller information to attribute list exposed to sysfs, and
appends the reset_controller attribute to it. The nvme device is created
with this attribute list, so driver no long manages its attributes.

We don't need to shutdown a controller for a reset. A controller in a
shutdown state may take longer to become ready than one that was simply
disabled. This patch has the driver shut down a controller only if the
device is about to be powered off or being removed. When taking the
controller down for a reset reason, the controller will be disabled
instead.

Function names have been updated in this patch to reflect their changed
semantics.

The nvme driver deletes IO queues asynchronously since this operation
may potentially take an undesirable amount of time with a large number
of queues if done serially.

The driver used to manage coordinating asynchronous deletions. This
patch simplifies that by leveraging the block layer rather than using
kthread workers and chaining more complicated callbacks.

NVMe submits all commands through the block layer now. This means we
can let requests queue at the blk-mq hardware context since there is no
path that bypasses this anymore so we don't need to freeze the queues
anymore. The driver can simply stop the h/w queues from running during
a reset instead.

This also fixes a WARN in percpu_ref_reinit when the queue was unfrozen
with requeued requests.

<title>NVMe: Use a retryable error code on reset</title>

A negative status has the "do not retry" bit set, which makes it not
retryable.  Use a fake status that can potentially be retried on reset.

An aborted command's status is overridden by the timeout handler so
that it won't be retried, which is necessary to keep initialization from
getting into a reset loop.

so we don't wrap the circular buffer. This conforms to the specification

Translation SCSI commands to NVMe commands is rather pointless in general
as applications must not expext to be able to use SCSI commands on a
generic block device.

Make the huge translation layer optional and hope no one will ever enable
