The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However, if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in nature, the cycles are wasted. This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles.
