That should be straight forward. I am just reluctant to add a user
interface that might not be necessary.

Maciej, how about changing your patch #13 so that we do not add a flag
for zc_mb supported or not, but instead we add a flag that gives the
user the max number of frags supported in zc mode? A 1 returned would
mean that max 1 frag is supported, i.e. mb is not supported. Any
number >1 would mean that mb is supported in zc mode for this device
and the returned number is the max number of frags supported. This way
we would not have to add one more user interface solely for getting
the max number of frags supported. What do you think?
