By removing the code below, we put all the commands for all the types of
devices (SAS/SATA) as simple-Q (requeue as the device require) and I am
not sure whether it is the intention of this change.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] fusion: remove iopriority handling

The request priority is now by default coming from the ioc. It was not
clear what this code was trying to do based upon the iopriority class or
data. The driver should check that a device supports priorities and use
them according to the specificiations of ioprio.

This is the intention of the change. I don't think the iopriority of the
request is being used correctly. What does it mean to use 0x7 as an 
indicator that a command should be put at the head of the queue? This 
would be clearer if it was using some of the macros from ioprio. If 
0x7 means something special I think this should be some #define in the 
includes of the fusion driver with some documentation.
