I was talking about dom0 here. We know that IO schedulers can be switched at runtime. They are not fixed at compile time configuration.

After going through the code for IO schedulers, we realized that these were actually modules. If this is the case, we should be able to see them in /proc/modules which is not happening.

IO schedulers (elevators) are *Linux* kernel feature,
so the question is how did you configure the *Linux* kernel you're using?

Are we talking about dom0 or domU here?
