I think it's unfortunate that the blk-mq core uses the .queue_offset member but
that mapping functions in block drivers are responsible for setting that member.
Since the block driver mapping functions have to set blk_mq_queue_map.nr_queues,
how about adding a loop in blk_mq_update_queue_map() that derives .queue_offset
from .nr_queues from previous array entries?

It's not a simple increment, so the driver has to be the one setting it. If
we end up sharing queues, for instance, then the driver will need to set
it to the start offset of that set. If you go two patches forward you
can see that exact construct.

IOW, it's the driver that controls the offset, not the core.
