Description:
Allows limiting a particular device to use not more than the
given 'max_bytes' of the write-back cache. This is useful in
situations where we want to avoid one device taking all or
most of the write-back cache. For example in case of an NFS
mount that is prone to get stuck, a FUSE mount which cannot be
trusted to play fair, or a nbd device.
