Hi Oliver,

The whole story is after we unify -generic and -server flavor kernel
together, we make CFQ as default for everyone. But for most server
usage, deadline should be default.

Colin did a heavy CFQ and deadline IO scheduler benchmarking. As a
result, deadline and CFQ has not much big difference. However,
deadline is required when system load is very heavy and critical task
should not be blocked for a long time.

So in this patch, we just change deadline for all Ubuntu kernel and
heavy testing are always welcome.

Thanks,
-Bryan
