 rq_affinity (RW)
 ----------------
-If this option is enabled, the block layer will migrate request completions
-to the CPU that originally submitted the request. For some workloads
-this provides a significant reduction in CPU cycles due to caching effects.
+If this option is '1', the block layer will migrate request completions to the
+cpu "group" that originally submitted the request. For some workloads this
+provides a significant reduction in CPU cycles due to caching effects.
+
+For storage configurations that need to maximize distribution of completion
+processing setting this option to '2' forces the completion to run on the
+requesting cpu (bypassing the "group" aggregation logic).
