nvme multipath can, and it looks drbd might be able to do so as well.

Yes. But for me the prime intend here is not to prevent that, but
to ensure we actually have the damn sanity check for all drivers
instead of just a few and instead a gazillion more or less equivalent
open coded versions.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't look into actually holding q_usage_count
over the entire bio lifetime for bio based drivers, but that's a
separate project.
