I asume the goal of adding this option is to enable us to move slowly
forward. In general that might be a good idea, however for this
particular case I am not sure.
The main reason is simply that I find it unlikely that people and
distributions will actually go in and change the default value, so in
the end we will just be adding new code, which isn't really going to
be much tested. That's what happened in scsi case.
As I also stated earlier, I do worry about the maintenance of the mmc
block device code, and this approach make it worse, at least short
term.
To me, the scsi case is also different, because the mq support was
added long time ago and at that point one could worry a bit of
maturity of the blkmq in general, that I assume have been sorted out
by know.
