Why read-only ? With the name as you have it, it seems to be the soft
control for the max size of copy operations rather than the actual
device limit. So it would be better to align to other limits like max
sectors/max_hw_sectors and have:

	max_copy_sectors (RW)
	max_hw_copy_sectors (RO)

Same for these.

How does this work ? This limit will be present for a DM device AND the
underlying devices of the DM target. But "offload" applies only to the
underlying devices, not the DM device...

Also, since this is not an underlying device limitation but an on/off
switch, this should probably be moved to a request_queue boolean field
or flag bit, controlled with sysfs.

Then what is the point of max_copy_sectors limit ? You can test support
by the device by looking at max_copy_sectors != 0, no ? This flag is
duplicated information.
I would rather use it for the on/off switch for the copy offload,
removing the copy_offload limit.
