That can definitely happen, but whats the problem with that?
The command_id is just a handle that the host is sending us and
expects it when we send it a completion, we don't have any state around
it in the target stack...

There is no such requirement. Again, the tags are allocated in the host
side. The only place the target *would* use the command_id is when
handling aborts, and like lots of other devices, we have a the absolute
minimum for aborts (no-op). Also, aborts are per-controller and we can
easily handle that, no need for host-wide uniqueness of tags...
