+ * number of segments allowed by the backend per request. If the node is

+ * issue requests with more than BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (11). The
+ * maximum number of indirect segments is fixed by the backend, but the
+ * frontend can issue requests with any number of indirect segments as long as
+ * it's less than the number provided by the backend. The indirect_grefs field
+ * in blkif_request_indirect should be filled by the frontend with the
+ * grant references of the pages that are holding the indirect segments.
+ * This pages are filled with an array of blkif_request_segment_aligned
+ * that hold the information about the segments. The number of indirect
+ * pages to use is determined by the maximum number of segments
+ * a indirect request contains. Every indirect page can contain a maximum
+ * of 512 segments (PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(blkif_request_segment_aligned)),
+ * so to calculate the number of indirect pages to use we have to do
+ * ceil(indirect_segments/512).
+ *
+ * If a backend does not recognize BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT, it should *not*
+ * create the "feature-max-indirect-segments" node!
