Ok.  It would be good to only fork off after the NVMe page size fix,
as that is bound to create merge conflicts otherwise.

While you're at it can you send "nvme: add missing unmaps in nvme_queue_rq"
and "block: fix blk_abort_request for blk-mq drivers" from this series to
Linus for 4.4-rc as well?

Yeah, Jeff already pointed that out.  I'll fix it for the next resend.
