That's not quite true: 53c700 and tmscsim both use it ... I could with
the usage were wider, but at least 53c700 has pretty regular and
constant usage ... enough I think to validate the block tag code (it's
been using it for the last three years).

Not for the case being discussed in this thread, adapter-wide tags.

AFAICS, no file in include/scsi/* or drivers/scsi/* ever calls blk_queue_init_tags() with a non-NULL third arg.

The block tagging capability being discussed here is poorly validated due to overall underuse, and its never been used in SCSI AFAIK.
