    dsched - Add the FQ policy
    
    * Add the FQ (fair queueing) policy for the dsched I/O scheduler
      framework.
    
    * Right now, this is at best experimental; it only starts rate limiting
      when the disk is busy. Each process is allocated an equal fair amount
      of disk time, based on the average request latency and tps.
      If the disk is busy and one process exceeeds its fair share, its bios
      are queued for later dispatch.
      To avoid starvation of heavy write processes, heavy writes are
      interleaved once every 3 scheduler rebalances. The scheduler rebalance
      time is currently set to 1s, so that exceeding processes will be
      limited after this period.
    
    * While I've done some limited testing on switching policies at runtime
      and even under heavy I/O going on, it is not recommended to do this,
      as some problems will crop up.
    
    * Future work to do:
    	- stabilization pass
    	- adding bucket support (i.e. having different priority buckets
    	  for groups of processes, so that for example processes A,B and
    	  C get a total aggregate of 80% disk time, while processes D
    	  and E get a total aggregate of 20%, instead of each process
    	  getting 20%)
    	- adding an "ionice" userland tool to allow to change the
    	  bucket/priority of a process
