I echo 0 to /sys/block/sdb/queue/iosched/slice_idle to put the device in iops mod.

Here is the dmsetup table:
sdbtest-2: 0 2097152 linear 8:16 23068672
sdbtest-1: 0 2097152 linear 8:16 20971520     

Device dm-0 is sdbtest-1, and dm-1 is sdbtest-2. They are all linear logic devices 
on sdb.

I did the same test in regular time based fairness mode without the above patch.

If I apply the above patch, and test in iops mode, the bandwidth will be equal.
