    When cooperating cfq_queues are detected currently, they are allowed to
    skip ahead in the scheduling order.  It is much more efficient to
    automatically share the cfq_queue data structure between cooperating processes.
    Performance of the read-test2 benchmark (which is written to emulate the
    dump(8) utility) went from 12MB/s to 90MB/s on my SATA disk.  NFS servers
    with multiple nfsd threads also saw performance increases.
