Yes, that's what I think too, so the elevator should go above dm, with a
vestigial elevator between dm and sd simply for SCSI to use in queuing.
Unfortunately, the way it works today is that the elevator is between dm
and sd. I know people are thinking about how to change this, but I'm
not sure how far anyone's got.
