Hi Tejun,

blkio_cgroup->weight can be thought of in a more generic manner and that
is sytem wide cgroup weight. And more than one policy should be allowed
to make use of it. That's a differnt thing that currently only CFQ makes
use of it.

For example, Fengguang posted RFC patches to try to make use of blkcg->weight
and differentiate between buffered write bandwidth.
