This series of patches of dm-ioband now includes "The bio tracking mechanism,"
which has been posted individually to this mailing list.
This makes it easy for anybody to control the I/O bandwidth even when
the I/O is one of delayed-write requests.

During the Containers mini-summit at OLS, it was mentioned that there
are at least *FOUR* of these I/O controllers floating around.  Have you
talked to the other authors?  (I've cc'd at least one of them).

We obviously can't come to any kind of real consensus with people just
tossing the same patches back and forth.

Ryo and Andrea - Naveen and Satoshi met up at OLS and discussed their approach.
It would be really nice to see an RFC, I know Andrea did work on this and
compared the approaches.
