See the previous discussion, the goal is to sync the two drbd code
bases. It's followed the "usual" pattern of the in-kernel driver being
neglected and development and users pushed to the out-of-tree one,
which is highly annoying.
As per the previous thread, the intent is not to push to to mainline
right now, but rather give it -next exposure without running into
conflicts between the trees. for-7.x/drbd will be rebased as needed,
and it's only in for-next for the stated reason.
