We should never issue a command that does not adhere to the limits set
by the device driver. Upon inspection I agree this is busted and it's my
fault.

DM does not have a request_queue when stacking and as a result we ended
up with two entities tracking whether a device supports clustering or
not. And as it turns out the queue flag and the queue limits are not
always in agreement.

I've coded up a proper fix for this and will post a patch shortly. I'm
just running a bunch of tests to ensure we do the right thing...
