From: Adam Manzanares <adam.manzanares@wdc.com>

This is the per-I/O equivalent of the ioprio_set system call.
See the following link for performance implications on a SATA HDD:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/6/495

First patch factors ioprio_check_cap function out of ioprio_set system call to
also be used by the aio ioprio interface.

Second patch converts kiocb ki_hint field to a u16 to avoid kiocb bloat.

Third patch passes ioprio hint from aio iocb to kiocb and inititalizes kiocb
ioprio value appropriately when it is not explicitly set.

Fourth patch enables the feature for blkdev.

Fifth patch enables the feature for iomap direct IO

Note: this work is based on top of linux-vfs/for-next

v2: merge patches
    use IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO
    validate intended use with IOCB_IOPRIO
    add linux-api and linux-block to cc

v3: add ioprio_check_cap function
    convert kiocb ki_hint to u16
    use ioprio_check_cap when adding ioprio to kiocb in aio.c

v4: handle IOCB_IOPRIO in aio_prep_rw
    note patch 3 depends on patch 1 in commit msg

v5: rename ki_hint_valid -> ki_hint_validate 
	remove ki_hint_validate comment and whitespace
	remove IOCB_IOPRIO flag
	initialize kiocb to have no priority

From: Adam Manzanares <adam.manzanares@wdc.com>

Aio per command iopriority support introduces a second interface between
userland and the kernel capable of passing iopriority. The aio interface also
needs the ability to verify that the submitting context has sufficient
priviledges to submit IOPRIO_RT commands. This patch creates the
ioprio_check_cap function to be used by the ioprio_set system call and also by
the aio interface.

In order to avoid kiocb bloat for per command iopriority support, rw_hint
is converted from enum to a u16. Added a guard around ki_hint assigment.

From: Adam Manzanares <adam.manzanares@wdc.com>

This is the per-I/O equivalent of the ioprio_set system call.

When IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO is set on the iocb aio_flags field, then we set the
newly added kiocb ki_ioprio field to the value in the iocb aio_reqprio field.

We set the blkdev bio iopriority unconditionally, so we need to guarantee the 
kiocb is initialized properly. Added changes to the loopback driver and 
init_sync_kiocb to achieve this.

This patch depends on block: add ioprio_check_cap function.

I'll cook up a libaio test case.  Can you put together a man-pages
update for this?
