Currently a full set of static requests are allocated per hw queue per

However, only tagset->queue_depth number of requests may be active at

requests are required.
The same goes for using an IO scheduler, which allocates a full set of
static requests per hw queue per request queue.
This series changes shared sbitmap support by using a shared tags per
tagset and request queue. Ming suggested something along those lines in
v1 review. But we'll keep name "shared sbitmap" name as it is familiar. In
using a shared tags, the static rqs also become shared, reducing the
number of sets of static rqs, reducing memory usage.
Hi Ming,
Could you kindly check the remaining few un-reviewed patches in this
series when you get an opportunity?
Thanks,
John
