This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
in some circumstances.
- Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.
- Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.
- Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
not going to idle after the current one finishes.
- Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
system idle.
