Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs

* 'for-linus' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs:
  xfs: use proper interfaces for on-stack plugging
  xfs: fix xfs_debug warnings
  xfs: fix variable set but not used warnings
  xfs: convert log tail checking to a warning
  xfs: catch bad block numbers freeing extents.
  xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic sync
  xfs: clean up code layout in xfs_trans_ail.c
  xfs: convert the xfsaild threads to a workqueue
  xfs: introduce background inode reclaim work
  xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueue
  xfs: introduce a xfssyncd workqueue
  xfs: fix extent format buffer allocation size
  xfs: fix unreferenced var error in xfs_buf.c

Also, applied patch from Tony Luck that fixes ia64:
  xfs_destroy_workqueues() should not be tagged with__exit
in the branch before merging.
