I've since fixed a few more, all should be well now. The updated version
is here:

It wouldn't break user space. In any case, if someone is currently using
queue_mode=1, it'd fail to load after this patch.
I'm checking that at the bottom, we could remove NULL_Q_RQ if we just
made that check == 1 instead. But cleaner to keep it, imho.
