I remember now, after I changed it to use rq_nowait, why we added this wrapper
function and used blk_mq_insert_request.
When we dispatch opal commands down to the controller we're doing so in an IRQ,
so if we use rq_nowait, we lockup.
Will there be pushback if we continue with the original patch idea, where we
export blk_mq_insert_request (forgot to send that) and use it? I looked through
the block API and I didn't see a execute_rq that was irq safe.
Any suggestions?
