I totally agree. I could easily merge the bio-cgroup functionality in
io-throttle or implement this as an infrastructure framework, using a
single controller and remove this complication.

For now, since the decisions on IO controllers are not definitive at
all, I privileged flexibility and I simply decided to be a plain user of
bio-cgroup to quickly adapt my patch to the future bio-cgroup
development.

Thanks,
-Andrea
