Oh, I mean other place references q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors.
Like in drivers/md/dm-io.c:
		special_cmd_max_sectors = q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors;

Now there should use blk_queue_get_max_write_zeroes_sectors() instead of use
q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors directly?

If yes, then I think codes related with function blk_queue_get_max_write_zeroes_sectors() should
also be split to separated patch.
