Actually I think that both max transfer size and max segement count,
are only relevant for SCSI passthrough since kernel I think emualates
both for regular I/O, so I think that we shoudn't expose them to qemu at all.
In my version of the patches I removed both bl.max_transfer and bl.max_iov
setup from the file-posix driver and replaced it with bs->bl.max_ioctl_transfer
(you call it max_hw_transfer)
In my version the bl.max_ioctl_transfer is a merged limit of the max transfer
size
and the max iovec number.
