The core only knows about the number of types, not what each type means
nor how to map it outside of using the mapping functions. So I don't
want to expose this is an explicit type, as that would then mean that
blk-mq had to know about them.

When the code is introduced, it's always the same hctx. Later on when we
do support multiple sets, the user of the list insert (plugging) explicitly
makes sure that a list only contains requests for the same hardware queue.
I'll improve the comment.
