May be we can have a more generic "allocator_tunables" device attribute,
which will support named parameters instead. E.g.

pool_page_len_limit=INT

And more in the future.

Having hard times coming up with good names here. max_pages_per_zspage
is too low level and exposes zsmalloc internals, while in theory zram
can use different allocators at some point, and those allocators can
have different tunables.
