This doc hasn't been touched in a while, in the meantime some
new io schedulers were added (e.g. all of mq), some with ioprio
support.

 With the introduction of cfq v3 (aka cfq-ts or time sliced cfq), basic io
 priorities are supported for reads on files.  This enables users to io nice
 processes or process groups, similar to what has been possible with cpu

 Scheduling classes
 ------------------
 
-CFQ implements three generic scheduling classes that determine how io is

 IOPRIO_CLASS_RT: This is the realtime io class. This scheduling class is given
 higher priority than any other in the system, processes from this class are
