Merge branch 'for-4.8/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:

   - the big change is the cleanup from Mike Christie, cleaning up our
     uses of command types and modified flags.  This is what will throw
     some merge conflicts

   - regression fix for the above for btrfs, from Vincent

   - following up to the above, better packing of struct request from
     Christoph

   - a 2038 fix for blktrace from Arnd

   - a few trivial/spelling fixes from Bart Van Assche

   - a front merge check fix from Damien, which could cause issues on
     SMR drives

   - Atari partition fix from Gabriel

   - convert cfq to highres timers, since jiffies isn't granular enough
     for some devices these days.  From Jan and Jeff

   - CFQ priority boost fix idle classes, from me

   - cleanup series from Ming, improving our bio/bvec iteration

   - a direct issue fix for blk-mq from Omar

   - fix for plug merging not involving the IO scheduler, like we do for
     other types ...
