I think your result is just showcasing your powerful system's ability to
poll every related HW queue.. whereas Jeffle's system is likely somehow
more constrained (on a cpu level, memory, whatever).
My basis for this is that Mikulas' changes simply always return an
invalid cookie (BLK_QC_T_NONE) for purposes of intelligent IO polling.
Such an implementation is completely invalid.
I discussed with Jens and he said:
"it needs to return something that f_op->iopoll() can make sense of.
otherwise you have no option but to try everything."
