I think it's unfortunate that the blk-mq core uses the .queue_offset member but
that mapping functions in block drivers are responsible for setting that member.
Since the block driver mapping functions have to set blk_mq_queue_map.nr_queues,
how about adding a loop in blk_mq_update_queue_map() that derives .queue_offset
from .nr_queues from previous array entries?

Thanks,

Bart.
