So you found this one useful.  This begs the question how we should
move forward with it, as it will only work with the blk-mq path in
it's current form.

I can see three ways:

 - we implement equivalent functionality in the old block tagging code
   and make it available for any driver
 - we require drivers specific workarounds for the !mq path
 - we allow drivers to force the use of the blk-mq path if they want
   to use advanced features like this.  This might become nessecary
   anyway when we expose actual multiqueue support to LLDDs.
