No, that boot option was a mistake, let's not propagate that to mq
scheduling as well.

Can you please explain why? I as well have requests from our users to
select the mq schedulers on the command line.

Because it sucks as an interface - there's no way to apply different
settings to different devices, and using the kernel command line to
control something like this is ugly. It never should have been done.

The sysfs interface, either manually, scripted, or through udev,
makes a lot more sense.

One doubt: with the new interface, and using, I guess, udev, is it
still possible to control which I/O scheduler is actually used during
all the boot process, or at least almost all of it?

Thanks,
Paolo
