mentioning unit of the length might be useful here.

This (unit_min) can still go above in the same line.

Please log info about this in commit message about where this limit came
from? Is it since we only support ubuf (which IIUC, only supports 1
segment)? Later when we will add support for iovec, this limit can be
lifted?

We can make 80 col. width even with unit_min in the same first line as of *stat.

Let's add one liner for each of these fields similar to how it was done
for others?

/* Minimum supported atomic write length in bytes */
/* Maximum supported atomic write length in bytes */
/* Maximum no. of segments (iovecs?) supported for atomic write */
