+Kyber I/O scheduler tunables
+===========================
+
+The only two tunables for the Kyber scheduler are the target latencies for
+reads and synchronous writes. Kyber will throttle requests in order to meet
+these target latencies.
+
+read_lat_nsec
+-------------
+Target latency for reads (in nanoseconds).
+
+write_lat_nsec
+--------------
+Target latency for synchronous writes (in nanoseconds).
