Thank you for bringing this in.  Do you or your collaborators also
plan to add the BFQ scheduler that was in the earlier separate
tarballs?  The numbers at

http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/

suggest that it worked well in a different context.

Also, there is a typographical error in the gsched(8) manpage: in the
EXAMPLES section, "-s" should be "-a" in:

           # Configure device ad0 to use scheduler 'rr':
           geom sched insert -s rr ad0
