Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block 

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block:
  Fix compile/link of init/do_mounts.c with !CONFIG_BLOCK
  When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive calls

* Before entering the loop, bio->bi_next is NULL (as all callers

* We pretend that we have just taken it off a longer list, so
* we assign bio_list to the next (which is NULL) and bio_tail
* to &bio_list, thus initialising the bio_list of new bios to be
* added. __generic_make_request may indeed add some more bios
* through a recursive call to generic_make_request. If it
* did, we find a non-NULL value in bio_list and re-enter the loop
* from the top. In this case we really did just take the bio
* of the top of the list (no pretending) and so fixup bio_list and
* bio_tail or bi_next, and call into __generic_make_request again.
*
* The loop was structured like this to make only one call to
* __generic_make_request (which is important as it is large and
* inlined) and to keep the structure simple.
