+Description:
+		[RW] This is the maximum number of bytes that the block layer
+		will allow for a copy request. This is always smaller or
+		equal to the maximum size allowed by the block driver.
+		Any value higher than 'copy_max_hw_bytes' will be reduced to
+		'copy_max_hw_bytes'. Writing '0' to this attribute will disable
+		copy offloading for this block device. If copy offloading is
+		disabled, copy requests will be translated into read and write
+		requests.
