We only have KERNEL_SECTOR_SIZE=512, defined in ibnbd-clt.c. Looks we
only depend on this exact number to set the capacity of the block
device on client side. I'm not sure whether it is worth extending the
protocol to send the number from the server instead.

The field contains queue_max_segments() of the target block device.
And is used to call blk_queue_max_segments() on the corresponding
device on the client side.
We do also have BMAX_SEGMENTS define in ibnbd-clt.h which sets an
upper limit to max_segments and does refer to the capabilities of the
RDMA adapter. This information should only be known to the transport
module and ideally would be returned to IBNBD during the registration
in IBTRS.

Thank you Bart!
