15da849c91 - Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for
bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler.
 
 - Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least
   (max_entries / 3) entries.  This resolves userspace thin_check
   utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node".
 
 - Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly
   flush the data device prior to metadata commit.  This resolves the
   potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data
   device has a volatile writeback cache.
 
 - Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity.

0a6f33dba4 dm dust: convert documentation to ReST
Convert the dm-dust documentation to ReST formatting, using literal
blocks for all of the shell command, shell output, and log output
examples.

Add dm-dust to index.rst.

Additionally, fix an annotation in the "querying for specific bad
blocks" section, on the "queryblock ... not found in badblocklist"
example, to properly state that the message appears when a given
block is not found.
