mainlining shenanigans
Before blk-mq is introduced, I/O is merged to elevator before being putted into plug queue, but blk-mq changed the order and makes merging to sw queue basically impossible. Then it is observed that throughput of sequential I/O is degraded about 10%~20% on virtio-blk in the test[1] if mq-deadline isn't used. This patch moves the bio merging per sw queue before plugging, like what blk_queue_bio() does, and the performance regression is fixed under this situation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
