I compiled the kernel without deadline, and the dasd code exits the old
scheduler (CFQ), fails to load the new one (deadline), and then things just
hang - with one of these (sorry about the weird chars - I copy & pasted it
from a 3270 console):

Set elevator pointer to NULL in order to avoid double elevator_exit
calls when elevator_init call for deadline iosched fails.
Also make sure the dasd device driver depends on IOSCHED_DEADLINE so
the default IO scheduler of the dasd driver is present.
