The results I mentioned so far have been achieved with the last version of bfq, released about two months ago as patchsets for 2.6.33 or 2.6.34. From a few days a patchset for 2.6.35 is available too, as well as a backport to 2.6.32. The latter has been prepared by Mauro Andreolini, who also helped me a lot with debugging. All these patches can be found here [2].
A few days after being released, this version of bfq has been introduced as the default disk scheduler in the Zen Kernel. It has been adopted as the default disk scheduler in Gentoo Linux too. I also recorded downloads from users with other distributions, as, e.g., Ubuntu and ArchLinux. As of now we received only positive feedbacks from the users.
I can guess your intentions, but if I were to be scientifically precise, I'd say, what happens now? Did you intend to suggest that openSUSE should include it too? Say so - further discussion on the opensuse-kernel mailing list seems inorder. Did you want to showcase it on openSUSE? That too should be no problem. Branch the kernel-source package in our Build Service, add the patch, let it compile. Willing testers can thus try it in an instant (and without spending time on the compile themselves).
