er ... I didn't say it was a problem.  I said I couldn't tell if it was a
problem.  There's no point in taking up an extra 4 bytes per pci_dev if
it's not a performance problem.  How often do we query the queue depth?
Is this something a device driver will call once per device and then
remember for itself, or only use at setup?  Or is it something we call
every millisecond?
