This sunds like most of these should be separate patches.

Plase split out a patch to add the name to all the ops and remove
rq_qos_id_to_name, which can be at the beginning of the series.

I think another really useful prep patch would be to switch the queue
linkage to use a hlist_head instead of all this open coded list
manipulation.

These two conditionals have pretty odd extra braces.
