Just as last time:

big NAK for introducing giant new infrastructure like a new I/O scheduler
for the legacy request structure.

Please direct your engergy towards blk-mq instead.

Christoph, we will probably talk about this next week but IMO rotating
disks and SATA based SSDs are going to stay with us for another 15 years,
likely more. For them blk-mq is no win, relatively complex IO scheduling
like CFQ or BFQ does is a big win for them in some cases. So I think IO
scheduling (and thus place for something like BFQ) is going to stay with us
for quite a long time still. So are we going to add hooks in blk-mq to
support full-blown IO scheduling at least for single queue devices? Or how
else do we want to support that HW?
