The queue limits already have a 'chunk_sectors' setting, so
we should be presenting it via sysfs.

This patch does more than exporting chunk_sectors via sysfs. It also 
makes that parameter configurable. Please mention this in the patch 
description.

My understanding of the block drivers that call 
blk_queue_chunk_sectors() is that increasing the chunk_sectors parameter 
will break these drivers. I think the single queue_limits.chunk_sectors 
parameter needs to be converted into two parameters:
- The value set by the block driver by calling
   blk_queue_chunk_sectors().
- The value configured from user space through sysfs.

This will allow to ensure that the chunk_sectors parameter can be 
increased from user space and also that it cannot be decreased.

In blk_queue_chunk_sectors() I found the following:

	BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(chunk_sectors));

Please make sure that this BUG_ON() cannot be triggered from user space.

Additionally, an update for Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt is 
missing from this patch.

Bart.

Ah, right.
Actually, making the sysfs attribute writeable is a leftover from
the original (debugging) patchset, so I'll be removing it from the
next iteration of this patchset.

Cheers,
