This patch series in based on Jens's linux-block/for-next branch.

All zoned block devices in the kernel utilize the "zoned block device
support" (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED).

The Zoned Namespace Command Set Specification defines two different
resource limits: Max Open Resources and Max Active Resources.

The ZAC and ZBC standards define a MAXIMUM NUMBER OF OPEN SEQUENTIAL WRITE
REQUIRED ZONES field.


Since the ZNS Max Open Resources field has the same purpose as the ZAC/ZBC
field, (the ZNS field is 0's based, the ZAC/ZBC field isn't), create a
common "max_open_zones" definition in the sysfs documentation, and export
both the ZNS field and the ZAC/ZBC field according to this new common
definition.

The ZNS Max Active Resources field does not have an equivalent field in
ZAC/ZBC, however, since both ZAC/ZBC and ZNS utilize the "zoned block
device support" in the kernel, create a "max_active_zones" definition in
the sysfs documentation, similar to "max_open_zones", and export it
according to this new definition. For ZAC/ZBC devices, this field will be
exported as 0, meaning "no limit".
Applied, thanks.
