It is up to a target driver to control properties of performance and
reliability on the target device and to mediate between filesystems and
that device. The da driver should be checking for and adjusting
performance criteria based upon this. Whether it is now currently
mistakenly placed in the transport layer (tags are a property of
parallel SCSI- tags, qua tags, are not the issue, but the number of
parallem operations at a time is) is not the issue.
