o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to
  support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at
  higher level in storage hierarchy.

o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and
  I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when
  CFQ is compiled as module.

o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration
  functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where
  ioschedulers register the functions dynamically.

o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these
  can dynakically register with block IO controller.

o blkio controller is inside the kernel and cfq makes use of interfaces
  exported by blkio. CFQ can be a module too, hence export symbols used
  by CFQ.

They should not be declared inside some other file that's not related
to CFQ.

o Propagate blkio cgroup weight updation to associated cfq groups.

o Export disk time and sector used by a group to user space through cgroup
  interface.

o Also export a "dequeue" interface to cgroup which keeps track of how many
  a times a group was deleted from service tree. Helps in debugging.

o One can choose to change elevator or delete a cgroup. Implement group
  reference counting so that both elevator exit and cgroup deletion can
  take place gracefully.

o This is basic implementation of blkio controller cgroup interface. This is
  the common interface visible to user space and should be used by different
  IO control policies as we implement those.
