Hi Gui,

This part makes sense. If need to give user an option to keep BLK_CGROUP=y
even if CFQ=m.

Why are you making DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP this as a user visible/configurable
option? This is already controlled by DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED. If you don't want
the DEBUG overhead, just set DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED=n and DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP will
not be selected? Making it user visible does not seem to be buying us
anything?

Thanks
