from quantal on we default to "normal" images (live for desktop and
alternate(nopefully plus squashfs) for server as on x86/amd64) with that
change we will default to install to actual hard disks (USB or if the
board has it to SATA). will switching the default scheduler to deadline
make sense in this environment ?

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
