Yeah. We've seen plugging and io schedulers not make much difference
for high-performance flash (although I think the people who argued
that noop should generally be used for non-rotating media were wrong,
I think - the elevator ends up still being critical to merging, and
while merging isn't a life-or-death situation, it tends to still
help).

For rotating rust with nasty seek times, the plugging is likely to
make the biggest difference.
