Ok, as I expected simple changes in a previous based-on serie provoke a
cascade of changes that inevitably affect these patches too.

While I strongly suggest to have an initial look at these patches
because it gives an idea on what am I trying to accomplish, I would not
go looking at nitpicks and trivial errors that came up from the based-on
series (ie "just as in the previous serie, fix this").

The order of the series is:
1. Still more coroutine and various fixes in block layer
2. Protect the block layer with a rwlock: part 1
3. Protect the block layer with a rwlock: part 2
4. Protect the block layer with a rwlock: part 3

Thank you,
Emanuele
