    This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
    in some circumstances.
    
    - Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
      are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
      time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.
    
    - Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
      it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.
    
    - Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
      not going to idle after the current one finishes.
    
    - Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
      system idle.
