IOSCHED_DEADLINE — Deadline I/O scheduler

The deadline I/O scheduler is simple and compact. It is often as good as the anticipatory I/O scheduler, and under some database workloads even better. In the case of a single process performing I/O to a disk at any one time, its behaviour is almost identical to the anticipatory I/O scheduler and so is a good choice.
