I don't think we should change app QoS parameters, but change service
provider parameters.

For instance, suppose the filesystem-IO QoS has 3 levels: 
  High, Normal and Idle.

Then if we assign Idle to updatedb, we'll service it as long as the
filesystem-server QoS has a higher level (High and Normal). When we
change the filesystem-serves' QoS to idle, it finds there is nothing to
keep it servicing stuff and it'll block pending requests, updatedb stops
being runnable and we're good.
