Why? If you look at the current structure we have the admin queue
which is always allocated by the Low level driver, although it could and
should move to the core eventually. And then we have Command set specific
request_queues for the I/O queues. One per NS for NVM currenly, either
one per NS or one globally for LightNVM, and in Fabrics I currently
have another magic one :) Due to the tagset pointer in struct nvme_ctrl
that's really easy to handle.
