This isn't about individual drivers, as I showed from the udev rules
used by Fedora/Redhat it is clearly entire subsystems and hundreds
of drivers that desire this.

Ulf can certainly decide what is best for the MMC and memstick drivers.

Thus I think it is probably best to make each subsystem that desire
BFQ imply it.
