There's a small chance that CFQ does what you want.  It has logic to
detect when multiple processes are submitting interleaved I/O, and it
will try to wait until requests are merged before dispatching (see
the comment in cfq_rq_enqueued).

Aside from that, make sure /sys/block/<dev>/queue/rotational is set to 1.

Cheers,
Jeff
