imho, this should not be a configuration option. The driver is perfectly
capable of sizing this queue appropriately (determined by the device)
without user interaction. Basically the option just needs to prevent the
system from falling over, just choose some low sane value.

Hello,
the idea was to give the user/admin the ability to control
cpu load and memory consumption while the driver write to
DVD / CD, at least for testing purposes.
Maybe move this interface into debugfs?
