I'm a bit worried about registering the rqos before ioc_refresh_params() as
that initializes all the internal parameters and letting IOs flow through
without initializing them can lead to subtle issues. Can you please instead
explicitly pass @q into ioc_refresh_params() (and explain why we need it
passed explicitly in the function comment)?

Thanks.
