With a multi-actuator drive, a process may get associated with multiple bfq_queues: one queue for each of the N actuators. So, the bfq_io_cq data structure must be able to accommodate its per-queue persistent information for N queues. Currently it stores this information for just one queue, in several scalar fields. This is a preparatory commit for moving to accommodating persistent information for N queues. In particular, this commit packs all the above scalar fields into a single data structure. Then there is now only one field, in bfq_io_cq, that stores all the above information. This scalar field will then be turned into an array by a following commit.

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.
