The way the interface to the low-level is currently designed, it isn't
possible to select queue depths on a single device. You do it for an entire
bus. My guess is that the low-level driver you are using is resetting the
queue depth for all devices on the bus - I don't *think* it is the bus scan
code itself that is resetting the queue depth.
