document. This commit updates the document.

Persistent grants feature provides high scalability. On some small
systems, however, it could incur data copy overheads[1] and thus it is
required to be disabled. It can be disabled from blkback side using a
module parameter, 'feature_persistent'. But, it is impossible from
blkfront side. For the reason, this commit adds a blkfront module
parameter for disabling of the feature.

The max module parameter (by default 32) is the maximum number of
segments that the frontend will negotiate with the backend for indirect
descriptors. Higher value means more potential throughput but more
memory usage. The backend picks the minimum of the frontend and its
default backend value.
