2.11.0

The same comment goes for this patch. pblk does support 2.0 and 1.2
today, but it is not guaranteed it will support a new revision straight
away. So I think that a check wither here or through the .capabilities I
proposed on the other patch is necessary.


Works for me. I'll send another patch that enables pblk target to tell which version it supports.
