This was little tricky for us as well.
There are multiple limits (such as max_hw_sectors, max_segments,
buffer allocation size), which decide what emulated copy size is.
Moreover this limit was supposed to reflect device copy offload
size/capability.
Let me know if you something in mind, which can make this look better.

Should be enough. Will update this.

Agree. Will changing it to "flag to enable/disable copy offload",
will it be better?

Agree. Even I had similar experience :). Will update the comments to
reflect in MB.

About the limit, we faced a dilemma,
1. not set limit: Allow copy which is huge(ssize_t) and which starts
consuming/hogging system resources
2. set limit: what the limit should be

We went with 2, and limit is based on our internel testing,
mainly desktop systems had memory limitation for emulation scenario.
Feel free to suggest, if you have some other thoughts.
