1. This all started long before blk-mq hit mainline.
2. There's still a decent amount of block drivers that don't support
blk-mq. Last time I looked (around the time 4.4 came out), I saw the
following that either obviously don't support it, or are ambiguous as to
whether they support it or not. Here's a list of just the ones I know
are being used on existing systems running relatively recent kernel
versions, not including any of the MTD stuff:
* fd
* MD
* bcache
* mmcblk
* nbd
* dasd
* drbd
* rbd
* aoe
* xvd (I know there were patches for this floating around, but I
never saw if they got merged or not)
