Subject: [RFC V2 0/6] blk: make blk-rq-qos policies pluggable and modular

Hi Jens

blk-rq-qos is a standalone framework out of io-sched and can be used to
control or observe the IO progress in block-layer with hooks. blk-rq-qos
is a great design but right now, it is totally fixed and built-in and shut
out peoples who want to use it with external module.

This patchset attempts to make blk-rq-qos framework pluggable and modular.
Then we can update the blk-rq-qos policy module w/o stopping the IO workload.
And it is more convenient to introduce new policy on old machines w/o udgrade
kernel. And we can close all of the blk-rq-qos policy if we needn't any of
them. At the moment, the request_queue.rqos list is empty, we needn't to
waste cpu cyles on them.

Changes since v1:
 - Just make iocost and iolatency pluggable, then we needn't to export
   those interfaces
 - Remove the iostat rqos policy
 - Rename module of blk-ioprio to io-prio to avoid rename ioprio.c file

WangJianchao(6):
	blk: make blk-rq-qos support pluggable and modular
    blk-wbt: make wbt pluggable
    blk-iolatency: make iolatency pluggable
    blk-iocost: make iocost pluggable
    blk-ioprio: make ioprio pluggable and modular
    blk: remove unused interfaces of blk-rq-qos
