Re:Re: [PATCH] make blk_mq_map_queues more friendly for cpu topology

Actually, I just bought one vm from public cloud provider and run into this problem.
after reading code and compare pci device info, I reproduce this scenario.

Since common users cannot change msi vector numbers, so I suggest blk_mq_map_queues to be
more friendly. blk_mq_map_queues may be the last choice.
