Yes, I'm already considering this for rewritten version of my
patch set as it may also help with performance when compared to
non blk-mq case.

Significant amount of time is spent on DMA map/unmap operations
on ARM MMC hosts and I would like to do these DMA (un)mapping-s
in parallel for two (or more) requests to check whether it helps
the performance (hopefully the cache controller doesn't serialize
these operations).

BTW I'm following the discussion and still would like to help with
getting blk-mq work for MMC.  I'm just quite busy with other things
at the moment.
