For things like NBD we want to be able to experiment with different
sized requests going over the wire. Half of our limit is controled by
max_sectors_kb, but the other half is how many bvec's we can cram into a
request, which is controlled by max_segments. Changing this sysfs knob
to be writeable allows us to be able to control our io limits more
precisely.
