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.
