queue_limits and sysfs entries are differently named.
All sysfs entries start with copy_* prefix. Also it makes easy to lookup
all copy sysfs.
For queue limits naming, I tried to following existing queue limit
convention (like discard).

This function is used only by driver, while intializing request queue.
I will put this as part of description next time.

This check ensures that, we dont enable offload if device doesnt support
offload. I feel it shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah, would like to know community opinion on this.
