Block IO throttling support was not even upstream at that time hence
you don't see it.
I have not heard about any stability issues so far. Of course more testing
will reveal that.
The only thing I have thinking is that should we limit the number of bios
queued per IO context on the device. Currently there is no such limit
and one can queue up as many bios as one want to.
Thanks
Vivek
