Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.
Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.
This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.
This will allow further cleanups in drivers.

call blk_queue_stack_limits() to copy queue limits from
the underline osd scsi_device. This is absolutely needed
because osdblk cannot sleep when allocating a lower-request and
therefore cannot be bouncing.

will not reflect in the upper driver

Submitted driver exports a block device of the form /dev/osdblkX,
where X is a decimal number.
It does that by mounting a stacking block device on top
of an osd object. For example, if you create a 2G object
on an OSD device, you can then use this module to present
that 2G object as a Linux block device.
See inside patch for exact documentation.
[Sitting at linux-next helped fix proper Kconfig dependency
for this driver, thanks to Randy Dunlap]
