There's currently no way to experiment with polled IO with null_blk, which seems like an oversight. This patch adds support for polled IO. We keep a list of issued IOs on submit, and then process that list when mq_ops->poll() is invoked. A new parameter is added, poll_queues. It defaults to 1 like the submit queues, meaning we'll have 1 poll queue available.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
