+Description:
+ [RO] This parameter specifies the maximum atomic write
+ size reported by the device. This parameter is relevant
+ for merging of writes, where a merged atomic write
+ operation must not exceed this number of bytes.
+ This parameter may be greater than the value in
+ atomic_write_unit_max_bytes as
+ atomic_write_unit_max_bytes will be rounded down to a
+ power-of-two and atomic_write_unit_max_bytes may also be
+ limited by some other queue limits, such as max_segments.
+ This parameter - along with atomic_write_unit_min_bytes
+ and atomic_write_unit_max_bytes - will not be larger than
+ max_hw_sectors_kb, but may be larger than max_sectors_kb.

+Description:
+ [RO] This parameter specifies the smallest block which can
+ be written atomically with an atomic write operation. All
+ atomic write operations must begin at a
+ atomic_write_unit_min boundary and must be multiples of
+ atomic_write_unit_min. This value must be a power-of-two.

+Description:
+ [RO] A device may need to internally split an atomic write I/O
+ which straddles a given logical block address boundary. This
+ parameter specifies the size in bytes of the atomic boundary if
+ one is reported by the device. This value must be a
+ power-of-two and at least the size as in
+ atomic_write_unit_max_bytes.
+ Any attempt to merge atomic write I/Os must not result in a
+ merged I/O which crosses this boundary (if any).
