Which queue is selected for device management commands?

What is the impact of this change? If a device command is queued on a 
queue with multiple pending commands, does that mean that it can take 
long for the device command to reach the UFS device?

The answer to the above questions should be in the patch description. 
Please expand the patch description.

I prefer a solution that does not require any new kernel module 
parameters. That means either a dedicated device command queue for all 
host controllers or no dedicated device command queue for any host 
controller.

Thanks,
