The new name is irq_poll as iopoll is already taken.  Better suggestions
welcome.

Hello Christoph,

Would it be possible to provide more background information about this ? Which other kernel subsystem is using the name iopoll ? I think the name blk-iopoll was chosen six years ago for this subsystem (see also https://lwn.net/Articles/346187/). If the conflicting subsystem is newer, how about renaming the other polling mechanism ?

Bart.
