I don't think that's a good idea. It makes it fuzzy which knob
controls what. If we're gonna have single set of controls followed by
all controllers, fine, but I really don't think we should be mixing
different layers of configurations. I mean, what about blkcg.read_bps
then? Let's just give this one to cfq. If someone else wants weight,
let it use its own weight config.

Thanks.
