 . Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a

   successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
   persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and

 . Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
   blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
   'era'.  Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software,
   and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
   coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
 
 . Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the dm-thin-pool
   by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a per-thin device list
   and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.  The subsequent read
   throughput of the data written via multiple threads improved by ~70%.
 
 . Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
   requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
   internally.
