Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi

Pull second round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "There's one late arriving patch here (added today), fixing a build
  issue which the scsi_dh patch set in here uncovered.  Other than that,
  everything has been incubated in -next and the checkers for a week.

  The major pieces of this patch are a set patches facilitating better
  integration between scsi and scsi_dh (the device handling layer used
  by multi-path; all the dm parts are acked by Mike Snitzer).

  This also includes driver updates for mp3sas, scsi_debug and an
  assortment of bug fixes"
