OK.

Another point is that 'unsigned long *' is passed to xa_find() as index.
However, almost all users of queue_for_each_hw_ctx() defines hctx index
as 'unsigned int'.

If we switch to xa_for_each(), the type of hctx index needs to be changed
to 'unsigned long' for every queue_for_each_hw_ctx(). But xa_load()
needn't such change.

Also from user viewpoint, looks 'unsigned long' change for hctx index is
still a bit confusing, IMO.


Thanks,
Ming
