+ Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
+ the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
+ one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
+ cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.

+ See Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt for more information.
