Hi Peter,
As you asked, why I added this macro in ioprio.h? And why it is better?

IMO, there is a policy to convert a nice value to io priority, that
divide the nice
range into 8 parts by 5. I think this is a common requirement for lots
of io subsystem.
So I implement this policy with NICE_TO_IOPRIO.

About function task_nice_iopiro(), it is to get the iopriority of a
task. It should get the
nice value at first and then use the NICE_TO_IOPRIO to convert it to
ioprio in the policy.

When our policy changed, we need only update the center controller,
NICE_TO_IOPRIO.
Keep the others work well.

This is my point about this patch. I wish it explained better. Thanx.
