The goal of blk-mq was to solve the issues around those systems, while 
at the same time provide a more modern infrastructure in general. It was 
never the intent to make blk-mq exclusive to higher end systems or 
devices, in fact quite the opposite. The goal is to slowly deprecate the 
old IO stack and switch everything (as far as we can) to blk-mq.
