[PATCH v4 4/5] doc: document sysfs queue/cranges attributes

[Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com>]

Update the file Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.rst to add a description
of a device queue sysfs entries related to concurrent sector ranges
(e.g. concurrent positioning ranges for multi-actuator hard-disks).

While at it, also fix a typo in this file introduction paragraph.

+cranges (RO)
+------------
+
+The presence of this sub-directory of the /sys/block/xxx/queue/ directory
+indicates that the device is capable of executing requests targeting
+different sector ranges in parallel. For instance, single LUN multi-actuator
+hard-disks will likely have a cranges directory if the device correctly
+advertizes the sector ranges of its actuators.
+
+The cranges directory contains one directory per concurrent range, with each
+range described using the sector (RO) attribute file to indicate the first
+sector of the range and the nr_sectors (RO) attribute file to indicate the
+total number of sector in the range starting from the first sector.
+For example, a dual-actuator hard disk will have the following cranges
+entries.::
+
+        $ tree /sys/block/<device>/queue/cranges/
+        /sys/block/<device>/queue/cranges/
+        |-- 0
+        |   |-- nr_sectors
+        |   `-- sector
+        `-- 1
+            |-- nr_sectors
+            `-- sector
+
+The sector and nr_sectors attributes use 512B sector unit, regardless of
+the actual block size of the device.
