Subject: [PATCH] bcache: reduce MAX_IO to 256

This is the number of concurrent async io requests that
the scan layer will submit to the bcache layer.  There
will be an open fd for each of these, so it is best to
keep this well below the default limit for max open files
(1024), otherwise lvm may get EMFILE from open(2) when
there are around 1024 devices to scan on the system.
