Linux limits the size of iovecs to 1024 (UIO_MAXIOV in the kernel sources, IOV_MAX in POSIX). Because of this, on some host adapters requests with many iovecs are rejected with -EINVAL by the io_submit() or readv()/writev() system calls. In fact, the same limit applies to SG_IO as well. To fix both the EINVAL and the possible performance issues from using fewer iovecs than allowed by Linux (some HBAs have max_segments as low as 128), introduce a separate entry in BlockLimits to hold the max_segments value from sysfs. This new limit is used only for SG_IO and clamped to bs->bl.max_iov anyway, just like max_hw_transfer is clamped to bs->bl.max_transfer.
