This patch does not do what the title says. You are also introducing the zone
operations, and the very obscure __UBLK_IO_OP_DRV_XXX operations without an
explanation. Also, why the "__" prefix for these ? I do not see the point...
Given that this is a uapi, a comment to explain the less obvious commands would
be nice.

So I think the change to an enum for the existing ops can be done either in
patch 2 or as a separate patch and the introduction of the zone operations done
in patch 3 or as a separate patch.
