Eyal, FYI, DAC960 won't compile yet, if you need DAC960

Only in 2.4.20rc2aa1: 9981_elevator-lowlatency-1
Only in 2.4.20aa1: 9981_elevator-lowlatency-2

Increase the size to 2M and left unchanged the elvtune settings. Also
reduce the cost of a seek, first we don't know if the newly inserted
request will eventually become big (like a merge), secondly we want
seeks to be passed over easily by other seeks because the elevator will
matter more with lots of seeks. We'll see if these changes helps or
hurts.
