    Hello Christoph,

    Would it be possible to provide more background information about this ?
    Which other kernel subsystem is using the name iopoll ? I think the name
    blk-iopoll was chosen six years ago for this subsystem (see also
    https://lwn.net/Articles/346187/). If the conflicting subsystem is
    newer, how about renaming the other polling mechanism ?

    Bart.
