On the other hand, in terms of interface and exactly as CFQ does, BFQ exports a boolean low_latency tunable to switch low-latency heuristics on (in BFQ, these heuristics lowers latency for interactive and soft real-time applications). Finally, differently from CFQ, BFQ has not other latency tunable. Accordingly, this commit temporarily turns all latency tunables into fake tunables, by turning the functions for reading and writing these tunables into functions that just generate warnings. The commit introducing low-latency heuristics in BFQ then restores only the boolean low_latency tunable.
