OK, so I decided to give this a shot anyways.. Here is a quick
conversion for libata + AHCI to use blk-mq -> scsi-mq pre-allocation for
ata_queued_cmd descriptors:

The thing that I'm hung up on now for existing __ata_qc_from_tag() usage
outside of the main blk_mq_ops->queue_rq -> SHT->queuecommand_mq()
dispatch path, is how to actually locate the underlying scsi_device ->
request_queue -> blk_mq_ctx -> blk_mq_hw_hctx from the passed
ata_port..?

Considering there can be more than a single ata_device hanging off each
ata_port, the '*sdev = ap->link.device[0].sdev' in __ata_qc_from_tag()
is definitely bogus, but I'm not sure how else to correlate
blk-mq/scsi-mq per device descriptors to existing code expecting
ata_port->qcmd[] descriptors to be shared across multiple devices..

Tejun..?
