So isn't this then really related to how many HW queues we expose there
is just scaling up the time? For megaraid sas, it's 1->128 for my arm64
platform when host_tagset_enable=1.

As a hack, I tried this (while keeping host_tagset_enable=1):

@@ -6162,11 +6168,15 @@ static int megasas_init_fw(struct
megasas_instance *instance)
else
instance->low_latency_index_start = 1;

- num_msix_req = num_online_cpus() +
instance->low_latency_index_start;
+ num_msix_req = 6 + instance->low_latency_index_start;

(6 is an arbitrary small number)

And boot time is nearly same as with host_tagset_enable=0.

For hisi_sas, max HW queue number ever is 16. In addition, we don't scan
each channel/id/lun for hisi_sas, as it has a scan handler.
