New distributed storage release.

DST is a very feature-rich network block device capable to be a base block in high-performance and high-available local/network RAIDs.

This release contains some code movement from structure to structure and small comments cleanups.
It is the 9′th official release, second resend of the essentially the same code and at lest third ask for inclusion.

I added Andrew Morton to the receiver list, let’s how many comments it will take this time.
Not sure if any. There was a single review (by Andrew only), where only some space issues left unresolved. Updated version was never commented.

As usual, patch is available in archive or via git tree.
