+ * To implement hierarchical throttling, throtl_grps form a tree and bios
+ * are dispatched upwards level by level until they reach the top and get
+ * issued.  When dispatching bios from the children and local group at each
+ * level, if the bios are dispatched into a single bio_list, there's a risk
+ * of a local or child group which can queue many bios at once filling up
+ * the list starving others.
+ *
+ * To avoid such starvation, dispatched bios are queued separately
+ * according to where they came from.  When they are again dispatched to
+ * the parent, they're popped in round-robin order so that no single source
+ * hogs the dispatch window.
+ *
+ * throtl_qnode is used to keep the queued bios separated by their sources.
+ * Bios are queued to throtl_qnode which in turn is queued to
+ * throtl_service_queue and then dispatched in round-robin order.
+ *
+ * It's also used to track the reference counts on blkg's.  A qnode always
+ * belongs to a throtl_grp and gets queued on itself or the parent, so
+ * incrementing the reference of the associated throtl_grp when a qnode is
+ * queued and decrementing when dequeued is enough to keep the whole blkg
