[PATCH] nvme: add 'iopolicy' module parameter

[Hannes Reinecke]

While the 'iopolicy' sysfs attribute can be set at runtime, most
storage arrays prefer to use the 'round-robin' iopolicy to be
used. So to avoid having to code a large udev rule detailing
every single storage array add a module parameter 'iopolicy'
to allow the admin to switch the default.

[PATCH] nvme: add 'iopolicy' module parameter

[Hannes Reinecke]

While the 'iopolicy' sysfs attribute can be set at runtime, most
storage arrays prefer to use the 'round-robin' iopolicy per default.
We can use udev rules to set this, but is getting rather unwieldy
for rebranded arrays as we would have to update the udev rules
anytime a new array shows up, leading to the same mess we currently
have in multipathd for configuring the RDAC arrays.

Hence this patch adds a module parameter 'iopolicy' to allow the
admin to switch the default, and to do away with the need for a
udev rule here.

This seems fine to me:

This looks good to me, but does not apply.  Can you resend it against
the nvme-5.17 branch?
