Hi Jens,
this is just to tell you that I have finished running some extensive
tests on this patch series (throughput, responsiveness, low latency
for soft real time).  No regression w.r.t. blk detected, and no
crashes or other anomalies.

Starting to work on BFQ port.  Please be patient with my little
expertise on mq environment, and with my next silly questions!

Thanks,
Paolo
