For devices that does not specify a limit on its transfer size, the
get_chk_meta command may send down a single I/O retrieving the full
chunk metadata table. Resulting in large 2-4MB I/O requests. Instead,
split up the I/Os to a maximum of 256KB and issue them separately to
reduce memory requirements.

Is this a v2? I remember seeing this patch being posted before [1]. It
still looks good to me :)

I changed the title. Since it didn't touch pblk. Thanks.
