Beh, not that easy with 8k stack and a context limit, and finite ring
sizes. We can definitely reduce the stack to a local list_head, just
need to think carefully about list ordering. (We can use the dfs_link as
we can't take the spinlock. One day, we'll find a way to avoid the
global dfs_lock. Just not today.)

Not intentionally.

if (hold_request(rq))

/* Do we want to hold this request? */

Seems redundant. If you want a better verb, suggest one, but not
suspend.

Since we already have engine = rq->engine in a local and this is just a
descriptive helper predicate.

Really, seems to be self-explanatory. Not much more one can say that
isn't said by the code.

/* Are we holding any requests? Are we holding this request? */

No small optimisation, but just an optimisation.

Yes. Seemed pretty clear :-p
