		This is the maximum number of bytes that the block
                layer will allow for a copy request. Must be smaller than
                or equal to the maximum size allowed by the hardware indicated
		by copy_max_bytes_hw. Write 0 to use the default kernel
		settings.

		[RO] This is the maximum number of kilobytes supported in a
                single data copy offload operation. A value of 0 means that the
		device does not support copy offload.

Confusing name as LENGTH may be interpreted as bytes. MAX_COPY_SECTORS would be
better.
