Base length of an asynchronous queue timeslice (that is, how long the
queue has to dispatch requests each round).  The actual timeslice
length is scaled by the I/O priority.

The base number of requests per round for asynchronous queues.  Like
slice_async, the actual maximum is a function of slice_async_rq and I/O
priority.

How long to wait for processes to produce more I/O before switching
queues. This is for anticipation of sequential I/O, and more even disk
time distribution for processes doing back to back synchronous I/Os.

Same as slice_async, but for synchronous requests.
