SubjectRe: [PATCH 00/14] introduce the BFQ-v0 I/O scheduler as an extra scheduler

That would be my preference. Have a BFQ-variant for blk-mq as an
option (default to off unless opted in by the driver or user), and
not other scheduler for blk-mq. Don't bother with bfq for non
blk-mq. It's not like there is any advantage in the legacy-request
device even for slow devices, except for the option of having I/O
scheduling.
