BTW: actually I'm already doing it (setting scheduler as deadline) at hypervisor level for my oVirt hosts, even if it seems to me it is not the default... What do you think about it? This way a single process (aka vm) cannot have such huge performance impact and you have nothing to do at VM level... Even in recent fedora (19) I see some situations where cfq is suboptimal in case of heavy I/O operations...
