+AD4 +- +ACo For blk-mq devices, we default to using:
+AD4 +- +ACo - +ACI-none+ACI for multiqueue devices (nr+AF8-hw+AF8-queues +ACEAPQ 1)
+AD4 +- +ACo - +ACI-bfq+ACI, if available, for single queue devices
+AD4 +- +ACo - +ACI-mq-deadline+ACI if +ACI-bfq+ACI is not available for single queue devices
+AD4 +- +ACo - +ACI-none+ACI for single queue devices as well as last resort

For SATA SSDs nr+AF8-hw+AF8-queues +AD0APQ 1 so this patch will also affect these SSDs.
Since this patch is an attempt to improve performance, I'd like to see
measurement data for one or more recent SATA SSDs before a decision is
taken about what to do with this patch. 

Thanks,

Bart.
