Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/5] fuse: add a sysfs parameter to control maximum
 request size

The tunable maximum read/write request size changes the size of
fuse request when max_read/max_write mount option is specified.

The libfuse should change the current MIN_BUFSIZE limitation
according to the current maximum request size. If not, the
libfuse must always set MIN_BUFSIZE to the maximum request limit
(= [256 pages * 4KB + 0x1000] in current implementation), which
leads to waste of memory. So, it is necessary to get it from
userspace.

This patch adds a sysfs parameter to achieve it. It can be
changed from 32 to 256 pages and the 32 pages are set by default.

When we want to increase the maximum request size, it is required
to change this parameter before mounting FUSE filesystems.
