Merge branch 'for-4.4/reservations' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block reservation support from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for persistent reservations, both at the core level,
as well as for sd and NVMe"
[ Background from the docs: "Persistent Reservations allow restricting
access to block devices to specific initiators in a shared storage
setup. All implementations are expected to ensure the reservations
survive a power loss and cover all connections in a multi path
environment" ]
