Mike Snitzer 17e149b8f7 dm: add 'use_blk_mq' module param and expose in per-device ro sysfs attr
Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily
change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option.

Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using
with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq

This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the
md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

What: /sys/block/dm-<num>/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline
Date: March 2015
KernelVersion: 4.1
Contact: dm-devel@redhat.com
Description: Allow control over how long a request that is a
reasonable merge candidate can be queued on the request
queue. The resolution of this deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs).
Setting this attribute to 0 (the default) will disable
request-based DM's merge heuristic and associated extra
accounting. This attribute is not applicable to
bio-based DM devices so it will only ever report 0 for
them.
