Ok, I made some optimizations to the code, sending v3 shortly. In this,
all the PM QoS handling and iteration of lists is moved to the
workqueue, and happens in the background. The initial block requests
(until the workqueue fires) may run with higher latency, but that is
most likely an okay compromise.
PS: Please bear with me, my knowledge of the block layer and/or NVMe is
pretty limited. I am sorry if these patches make you frustrated, that
is not my intention.
