Hello, Michal.

The two being enabled at the same time doesn't make sense, so we can
just switch over to bfq when bfq is selected as the iosched.  I asked
what Paolo wanted to do in terms of interface a couple times now but
didn't get an answer and he posted a patch which makes the two
controllers conflict, so....  Paolo, so it looks like you want to
rename all bfq files to drop the bfq prefix, right?  I can implement
the switching if so.

It never makes sense to have both enabled, so I don't think that
interface makes sense.

Initially, I put them under block device sysfs but it was too clumsy
with different config file formats and all.  I think it's better to
have global controller configs at the root cgroup.

Not at all.  These are system-wide configs.  cgroup namespaces
shouldn't have anything which aren't in non-root cgroups.

Thanks.
