Wo between what do you even want to round robin? If it is between
reads and writes that's easy. If we want priority reads or writes
(separate from polling) that's also still fairly easily.
Btw, one thing I wanted to try once I get hold of the right hardware
is to mark the poll queues as priority queues and see if that makes
any differents in poll IOPS/latency.
