           unprivledged users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a
           multipath device had no available paths.

           support for passing through persistent reservations with DM
           multipath.

      Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
       "Two major components to this update.
      
         1) The clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly complete.  There
            are a few outstanding issues being worked on.  Maybe half a dozen
            patches will bring this to a usable state.
      
         2) The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from Facebook makes an
            appearance.  With a journal device configured (typically NVRAM or
            SSD), the "RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash during
            degraded operations cannot result in data corruption.
      
            The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache
            so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput
            increased by performing more full-stripe writes.
      
      * tag 'md/4.4' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (66 commits)
