Dear Maintainer,

I reported that IOWeight config item in systemd has no effect
on recent Debian kernels. I found the root cause.
io.weight was changed to io.bfq.weight, and recent systemd sets
values of IOWeight to io.bfq.weight as

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/2dbc45aea747f25cc1c3848fded2ec0062f96bcf

For io.bfq.weight to appear in cgroup v2 filesystem, the bfq kernel
module must be loaded. Addition of "bfq" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
solved this issue. Since the systemd needs bfq module to be loaded,
changing CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ=m to CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ=y in kernel config
seems suitable.

If the Debian kernel team considers this issue to be handled by another
package, e.g. initramfs-tools or systemd, please reassign this.
If this issue is considered not being a bug, please close this.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
