** Description changed:

  When BFQ is used, disk IO will hang some seconds after boot. This was
  also reported in some public MLs [1][2]. The fix is already in mainline,
  but it's not available in 4.15.

  == SRU Justification ==
  
- Three patches are cherry-picked for SRU. "block, bfq: add requeue-
- request hook" is the fix, while the other two are cleanups and make the
- whole fixes clean cherry-picks.
+ Impact:
+ Disk IO hangs several seconds after booting with a bionic Ubuntu kernel
+ 
+ Fix:
+ Three patches are cherry-picked for SRU. "block, bfq: add requeue-request 
hook" is the fix, while the other two are cleanups and make the whole fixes 
clean cherry-picks.
+ 
+ Testcase:
+ Boot the kernel with BFQ as IO scheduler.
+ 
+ Risk of Regression:
+ Clean cherry-picks from upstream so the risk should be fairly low.
