That's why I wanted these to be driver private, so you could just expand
at will. But it's not like we can't do that now, we'll just add some
extra types in here. The downside is that if we have a bunch of drivers
having dis-separate queues, then we end up with a bigger MAX number than
we would have with driver private queues.

IOW, I don't think this is ruining anything for you.
