Turns out that selecting CONFIG_DEFAULT_MQ_DEADLINE is the culprit;
switching to CONFIG_DEFAULT_MQ_NONE and selecting mq-deadline after
booting manually makes the problem go away.

So there is a race condition during device init and switching the I/O
scheduler.

But the results from using mq-deadline are promising; the performance
drop I've seen on older hardware seems to be resolved:

measured on mpt2sas with SSD devices.
