Actually it does not support other i/o schedulers (early stage of
development ;).

"Linux supports io scheduling priorities and classes since 2.6.13 with
the CFQ io scheduler." (ionice man page)

So we can only tune
antic_expire est_time read_batch_expire read_expire
write_batch_expire write_expire
for anticipatory and
fifo_batch front_merges read_expire write_expire writes_starved
for deadline.

I'll have a look on it.
