For those playing along at home the commit Jens is referring to is "block: get rid of blk-mq default scheduler choice Kconfig entries" (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b86dd815ff74ab9eda474d1c28428ac0db2c3032 ) and the mailing archive thread was https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg1338302.html ). Sigh, OK got it - udev rules for selecting multiqueue I/O schedulers (at least until the day single queue block layer is ripped out). (Finishing that thread made me feel like I'd been slapped in the face by a wet trout and I had nothing to do with it! :-) -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/
