Re: [PATCH v7 1/5] block: Add independent access ranges support

struct blk_independent_access_ranges contains kobjects (struct kobject)
to expose to the user through sysfs the set of independent access ranges
supported by a device. When the device is initialized, sysfs
registration of the ranges information is done from blk_register_queue()
using the block layer internal function disk_register_iaranges(). If a
driver calls disk_set_iaranges() for a registered queue, e.g. when a
device is revalidated, disk_set_iaranges() will execute
disk_register_iaranges() to update the sysfs attribute files.

I really detest the iaranges "name", it's horribly illegible. If you
want to stick with the ia thing, then disk_register_ia_ranges() would be
a lot better (though still horrible, imho, just less so).

Same goes for blk-iaranges, we really need to come up with something
more descriptive here.
