Both. I've tracked down the SCSI boot crash and you'll have a patch for
that soon, still working on bisecting the performance crawl, but I'm
getting close.

scsi_mq_find_tag only gets the scsi host, which may have multiple
queues. When called from scsi_find_tag we actually have a scsi device,
so that's not an issue, but when called from scsi_host_find_tag the
driver only provides the host.
