Firstly it depends if drivers call into these helpers, so this way
is fragile.

Secondly, I think it isn't good to expose specific physical devices
into blk-mq which shouldn't deal with physical device directly, also
all the three helpers just duplicates same logic except for retrieving
each vector's affinity from specific physical device.

I will think about how to cleanup them.


Thanks,
