Put some thought into this, Ming. I think you've absorbed some "received
wisdom", some of the implicit assumptions everyone seems to be making without
ever doing any math to check if they make sense.

There may not be a "queue depth" for all drivers, but the same latency
considerations apply - if you have an unbounded number of IOs in flight, you're
going to be having other, much more significant issues.
