Agreed. And the philosophy here is to start with a as few knobs
as possible and work from there based on actual use cases.
Single threaded applications will run into issues with general
blk-mq philosophy, so to work around that we'll need to dig deeper
and allow borrowing of other cpu queues if we want to cater for that.
