Hi!

Try making BFQ the default scheduler. That seems to break it for me,
when selected at runtime, it looks stable.

Anyway, here are some speed tests. Background load:

root@duo:/data/tmp# echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler 
root@duo:/data/tmp# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
root@duo:/data/tmp# cat /dev/zero > delme; cat /dev/zero > delme;cat
/dev/zero > delme;cat /dev/zero > delme;cat /dev/zero > delme;cat
/dev/zero > delme

(Machine was running out of disk space.)

(I alternate between cfq and bfq).

Benchmark. I chose git describe because it is part of kernel build
sometimes .. and I actually wait for that.

pavel@duo:/data/l/linux-good$ time git describe
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
v3.15-rc8-144-g405dedd

Unfortunately, results are not too good for BFQ. (Can you replicate
the results?)
