In your patch set, the logical adminq per host is standalone request_queue which share
the tagset with other request_queue.

Due to the hctx_may_queue, 
If only one LUN, the adminq will take away half of the driver tags when
the adminq is active.
And when multiple LUNs, all of the LUNs have to share the limited budget of tags
of the adminq.
This is unacceptable.

And also, not all the admin request is send out through scsi_execute, maybe SG_IO.
So the admin queue here looks more like the pm queue ?
