Have you considered the possibility of adding this an action to a IOCTL
that looks like the zone management one we discussed last week? We would
start saving IOCTLs already if we count the offline transition and this
one.

Would it make sense to add nr_sectors if the host wants to associate the
same metadata to several zones. The use case would be the grouping of
larger zones in software.

In any case, this is needed. I also could not find a way to read the
extended descriptor back.
