aoe: add module parameter for users who need more outstanding I/O
An AoE target provides an estimate of the number of outstanding commands that
the AoE initiator can send before getting a response. The aoe_maxout
parameter provides a way to set an even lower limit. It will not allow a user
to use more outstanding commands than the target permits. If a user discovers
a problem with a large setting, this parameter provides a way for us to work
with them to debug the problem. We expect to improve the dynamic window
sizing algorithm and drop this parameter. For the time being, it is a
debugging aid.
