Currently a queue can only dispatch up to 4 requests if there are other queues.
This isn't optimal, device can handle more requests, for example, AHCI can
handle 31 requests. I can understand the limit is for fairness, but we could
do a tweak: if the queue still has a lot of slice left, sounds we could
ignore the limit. Test shows this boost my workload (two thread randread of
a SSD) from 78m/s to 100m/s.
Thanks for suggestions from Corrado and Vivek for the patch.
