Thanks. I will try merging 5.8-rc1 and RFC and see how CPU hot plug works.

Megaraid driver use internal command but it is excluded from can_queue.
All internal command are mapped to msix index 0, which is non-managed. So we
are good w.r.t internal command.

No. passing 1 means shared_hosttag support will be turned off.

Actually I wanted to turn off  this feature using host_tagset and not
through nr_hw_queue. I will address this.

Additional request -
In MR we have old controllers (called MFI_SERIES). We prefer not to change
behavior for those controller.
Having host_tagset in template does not allow to cherry pick different
values for different type of controller.
If host_tagset is part of Scsi_Host OR we add check in scsi_lib.c that
host_tagset = 1 only make sense if nr_hw_queues > 1, we can cherry pick in
driver.

I will accommodate this.
