Add an API to allocate a request queue which accepts a custom set of

The reason which we may want custom ops is for queuing requests which we
don't want to go through the normal queuing path.
Eww. I really do not think we should do separate ops per queue, as that
is going to get us into a deep mess eventually.
Yeah... so far (here) it works out quite nicely, as we don't need to
change the SCSI blk mq ops nor allocate a scsi_device - everything is
just separate.
The other method mentioned previously was to add the request "reserved"
flag and add new paths in scsi_queue_rq() et al to handle this, but that
gets messy.
Any other ideas ...?
Cheers,
John
