That would be my preference.  Have a BFQ-variant for blk-mq as an
option (default to off unless opted in by the driver or user), and
not other scheduler for blk-mq.  Don't bother with bfq for non
blk-mq.  It's not like there is any advantage in the legacy-request
device even for slow devices, except for the option of having I/O
scheduling.
