I don't think this should be in drivers.  cmd_per_lun is a scsi_host
attribute already and you should change the mid-layer to add an
optional host template method that allows the sysfs file to be writeable.
max_sectors should be handled similar although we don't seem to have
an attribute for it yet (maybe the block layer does?)
