Couldn't you just clear the REQ_DRIVER_FAILFAST flag to get the existing
retry mechanisms working in this path?

And while it looks fine for fabrics, PCIe doesn't have the implied HOST
ID connection that makes reservations do the right thing across
different paths. Automatic path failover retries for PCIe may have the
wrong result.
