I've got a few cards at least.

With the switch to blk_execute_rq(), we can't be using end_io_data
and end_io, as we use that internally for the wakeup. So I have to
stuff it somewhere.

The obvious option would be to move it to mtip_cmd, but we can't
safely access that prior to having a driver tag assigned, which doesn't
happen until we end up in our ->queue_rq(). So we need to stuff it
somewhere.
