block: Split bios on chunk boundaries

Keith Busch · axboe · commit d3805611130a · 2015-12-22T17:19:25.000-07:00
For h/w that advertise their block storage's underlying chunk size, it's
a big performance win to not submit commands that cross them. This patch
uses that criteria if it is provided. If it is not provided, this patch
uses the max sectors as before.
