I think besides the NCQ tests, we'll definitely also want to test
migration with READ DMA in flight (this series tests only WRITE DMA and
FLUSH CACHE). Probably also discard.

Nice to have, but less important, would be the other variants that
exist, like the EXT version of each command, and READ/WRITE SECTOR.

But all of that can be added in a follow-up series, it's not a reason to
hold up what's already there.
