While the 'iopolicy' sysfs attribute can be set at runtime, most storage arrays prefer to use the 'round-robin' iopolicy per default. We can use udev rules to set this, but is getting rather unwieldy for rebranded arrays as we would have to update the udev rules anytime a new array shows up, leading to the same mess we currently have in multipathd for configuring the RDAC arrays. Hence this patch adds a module parameter 'iopolicy' to allow the admin to switch the default, and to do away with the need for a udev rule here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
