Hello Christoph,

Would it be possible to provide more background information about this ? 
Which other kernel subsystem is using the name iopoll ? I think the name 
blk-iopoll was chosen six years ago for this subsystem (see also 
https://lwn.net/Articles/346187/). If the conflicting subsystem is 
newer, how about renaming the other polling mechanism ?

Bart.
