Hi Christoph,

Can you rebase it on top of 3.14. I have trouble applying it for testing.

For nvme, there's need for two separate types of queues. The admin queue
(before initializing blk-mq) and the actual hardware queues.

Should we allow the driver to get/put tags before initializing blk-mq?
Or let drivers implement their own framework?

Thanks,
Matias
