+	    <p>Introduced support for eager check I/O.</p>
+	    <p>By default eager check I/O will be disabled, but this
+	    will most likely be changed in OTP 18. When eager check
+	    I/O is enabled, schedulers will more frequently check for
+	    I/O work. Outstanding I/O operation will however not be
+	    prioritized to the same extent as when eager check I/O is
+	    disabled.</p>
+	    <p>Eager check I/O can be enabled and disabled using the
+	    <c>erl</c> command line argument <seealso
+	    marker="erl#+secio"><c>+secio</c></seealso>.</p>
+	    <p>Characteristics impact when enabled:</p> <list>
+	    <item>Lower latency and smoother management of externally
+	    triggered I/O operations.</item> <item>A slightly reduced
+	    priority of externally triggered I/O operations.</item>
