       queue


SYNOPSIS
       void blk_queue_max_hw_segments  (request_queue_t * q,
                                         unsigned short max_segments);


ARGUMENTS
       q      the request queue for the device

       max_segments
              max number of segments


DESCRIPTION
       Enables  a  low  level driver to set an upper limit on the number of hw

       address/length  pairs the host adapter can actually give as once to the
       device.
