Single service tree is no longer true in cfq for-2.6.33.
Now we have a matrix of service trees, with first dimension being the
priority class, and second dimension being the workload type
(synchronous idle, synchronous no-idle, async).
You can have a look at the series: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/26/482 .
It may have other interesting influences on your work, as the idle
introduced at the end of the synchronous no-idle tree, that provides
fairness also for seeky or high-think-time queues.
