Sure, if you can make this work, it would be easier :)

Do you mean "weight raised bfqqs"? Yes, you are right they would need
special treatment - maybe bfq_weights_tree_add() is not the best function
to use for this and we should rather use insertion / removal from the
service tree for maintaining num_entities_with_pending_reqs counter?
I can even see we already have bfqg->active_entities so maybe we could just
somehow tweak that accounting and use it for our purposes?
