That makes sense - the filesystem is doing write-behind so there can be
lots of outstanding I/O requests.  That said, since it is a sequential
write, there isn't much scope for command re-ordering (the inode and
bitmaps will be being updated, but fairly infrequently) - which is the
whole point of tagged queueing.
