Makes perfect sense. What was it about CFQ that made it default originally?

I would also add wear levelling and file system consistency as a criteria.
What I mean is under the scenario of cranking, where power flux will be drastic 
and result in an immediate reboot.

On the topic of Fastboot - I need to take a look, but is sreadahead employed?

Understood - reject the patch I submitted over the weekend so I guess.
