Because it must actually be supported by the driver for bio based
drivers.  Then again we also support chaning it through sysfs, so
we might actually need both.  At least unlike say the cache it's
not actively harmful when enabled despite not being supported.

I can look into that, but I'll do it in another series after getting
all the driver changes out.
