Some of this feels quite heavy-handed, and I imagine that having to take
the lock in every request could cause considerable lock contention only
so that we can iterate all requests in a slow path.

This works for now, but maybe in the long run, we want to teach the
SCSI layer about (virt)queues, and have a separate request list per
queue (= AioContext)?
