Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback. I've rebased the patch on top of 3.16-rc6 and applied
the current patches in Willy's master tree.

A branch with the patch on top is found here:

  https://github.com/MatiasBjorling/linux-collab nvmemq_review

and the separate changes can be found in the nvmemq_v11 branch

Changes since v10:
 * Rebased on top of Linus' v3.16-rc6.
 * Incorporated the feedback from Christoph:
    a. Insert comment regarding the timeout flow.
    b. Moved tags into nvmeq instead of hctx.
    c. Moved initialization of tags and nvmeq outside of init_hctx.
    d. Refactor submission of commands in the request queue path.
    e. Fixes for WARN_ON and BUG_ON.
 * Fixed a missing blk_put_request during abort.
 * Converted the "Async event request" patch into the request model.

Changes since v9:
 * Rebased on top of Linus' v3.16-rc3.

   be added as reviewed-by.
