Hi Andrea,

I was checking out the pass discussion on this topic and there seemed to
be two kind of people. One who wanted to control max bandwidth and other
who liked proportional bandwidth approach  (dm-ioband folks).

I was just wondering, is it possible to have both the approaches and let
users decide at run time which one do they want to use (something like
the way users can choose io schedulers).

Thanks
Vivek
