Subject: ipi_redirect vs rq_affinity

Hi Jens,

it seems like blk-mq uses the ipi_redirect attribute in pretty much the
same way as the old blk-softirq code used the rq_affinity one, except
that the old code has an additional option to direct into any core in
the current package.

Is there any good reason to not reuse the old name and semantics?
