[pve-devel] switch to deadline scheduler by default

Ok, din't know that.

I found an interesting article here :
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fliaat%2Fliaatbpcfq.htm

recommandations for kvm and cfq for best performance are

/sys/block/device/queue/iosched/quantum = 32
/sys/block/device/queue/iosched/slice_idle = 0

Maybe can add them somewhere ?

Many feature only work with CFQ (ionice, openvz IO priorities), so this is not an option.
