Hmm... I think we already discussed this but here's a really simple
case. There are three unknown workloads A, B and C and we want to
give A certain best-effort guarantees (let's say around 80% of the
underlying device) whether A is sharing the device with B or C.

I get that bfq can be a good compromise on most desktop workloads and
behave reasonably well for some server workloads with the slice
expiration mechanism but it really isn't an IO resource partitioning
mechanism.

Thanks.
