Hi Bart,

Original numbers were with deadline-mq (not deliberately specified - so the
default for this setup)  To flesh them out a bit I've
run the equivalent test with all the options on today's linux next.

iodepth=2048, 4k blocks read only 6 disks 6 processes.

SMMU disabled for now due to ongoing work to reduce it's impact.

none : 716k IOPS
mq-deadline : 305k IOPS
kyber: 321k IOPS

noop, scsi_mq disable using the kernel commandline option: 937k IOPS

Thanks,

Jonathan
