Hi guys,
thank you Yuwei for proposing this. Yet, I'm a little doubtful, for
the case where blk_mq_sched_try_insert_merge returns true, and then to
bfq_init_rq() does not get called. In this case, all the code for
handling bursts, splits, ioprio changes and the other stuff in to
bfq_init_rq() is not executed. This worries me a little bit. Can you
show me why not executing these operations is fine?

Thanks,
Paolo
