The NVMe and SCSI standards define 64 different data lifetimes. Support
storing this information in the I/O priority bitfield.
The current allocation of the 16 bits in the I/O priority bitfield is as
follows:
* 15..13: I/O priority class
* 12..6: unused
* 5..3: I/O hint (CDL)
* 2..0: I/O priority level
This patch changes this into the following:
* 15..13: I/O priority class
* 12: unused
* 11..6: data lifetime
* 5..3: I/O hint (CDL)
* 2..0: I/O priority level

Should the comment[*] also be modified to reflect this change?
