My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the
'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the
compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot
time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default
to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler
is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion
before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration
function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is
in use.
Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

Jens: i'm submitting this seperately from the objectionable 'modular
default scheduler' check. Is there anything else I should change?
