The patchset adds ioctl(BLKCOPY) and two userspace visible data
struture(range_entry, and copy_range), all belong to kabi stuff, and the
interface is generic block layer kabi.
The API has to be allowed to extend for supporting SCSI XCOPY in future or similar
block copy commands without breaking previous application, so please CC linux-scsi
and scsi guys in your next post.
