Great, work Warner, thanks! Small note, though. The CAM_IOSCHED_NETFLIX
seems like a quite poor name for a kernel option. IMHO there is no good
reason for polluting it with the name of the company that sponsored the
development. I don't think we have any precedents of doing this unless the
option is related to a piece of hardware that the company makes, and it's
not the case here. Apart from "coolness" factor as far as I understand that
_NETFLIX suffix does not give any tangible benefit for anybody reading
kernel config and trying to understand what this option actually does.
CAM_IOSCHED_SSDNG or something would be better IMHO. Just my $0.02.
