Description:
preload has an entry related to ionice (IONICE_OPTS) in its conf.d file but rc.d script doesn't use this information anywhere. This is painful since many people may want to run preload daemon with idle io priority.

Additional info:
* preload version: 0.6.4-1
* Default /etc/conf.d/preload settings apply
* Tested on i686, but other architectures are likely to be affected as well.


Steps to reproduce:
0. Install preload-0.6.4-1 from [community]
1. Start preload daemon
2. Run ionice -p `pidof preload` in order to determine its io scheduling class

Expected results:
'idle' is printed to stdout

Actual result:
Something other will appear.

The fix is trivial and attached to this report
