I am afraid, you seem to missunderstand things.
This parameter is not related to something you may call "block layer", it is
rather related to the low level SCSI transport. If the value is stored in a
higher layer, it is not stored in the layer where it belongs to.
If you like to take care of clean interfaces, make sure that this parameter is
moved to the right place in the code.
