This doc hasn't been touched in a while, in the meantime some
new io schedulers were added (e.g. all of mq), some with ioprio
support.

Also reword the introduction to remove reference to CFQ and the
limitation that io priorities only work on reads, which is no longer
true.

 Intro
 -----
 
-With the introduction of cfq v3 (aka cfq-ts or time sliced cfq), basic io
-priorities are supported for reads on files.  This enables users to io nice
-processes or process groups, similar to what has been possible with cpu
-scheduling for ages.  This document mainly details the current possibilities
-with cfq; other io schedulers do not support io priorities thus far.

 Scheduling classes

 IOPRIO_CLASS_RT: This is the realtime io class. This scheduling class is given
 higher priority than any other in the system, processes from this class are
