Linus Torvalds 474095e46c md updates for 4.1
Highlights:
 
 - "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using
   DLM.  Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if used.
   However it is looking good and mostly done and having in mainline
   will help co-ordinate development.
 - RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
   handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.
 - RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should
   help performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.
 - RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically.  The value
   set is used as a minimum.
 - Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
   there is competing IO.  How much faster depends on the speed of the
   devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to
   some extent.

 "More updates that usual this time.  A few have performance impacts
