Can't you just perform this check once somewhere and set cmd_perform to the
new cmd_passthrough? why check for every command?

This is not accepted it is the hot path.

Actually you can do more:
If you leave the checking and decisions to the target driver
then you don't need to touch this file. Just let the device_type
decide which vector to set once it knows what target is used.

(Like start with a vector that check and sets the vector to
 the passthrough or the regular path, on first IO)
