Add the zone_append_max_sectors configfs attribute and module parameter to allow configuring the maximum number of 512B sectors of zone append operations. This attribute is meaningful only for zoned null block devices. If not specified, the default is unchanged and the zoned device max append sectors limit is set to the device max sectors limit. If a non 0 value is used for this attribute, which is the default, then native support for zone append operations is enabled. Setting a 0 value disables native zone append operations support to instead use the block layer emulation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
