The original user of generic_atomic_write_valid() 
[blkdev_dio_unaligned() or blkdev_dio_invalid() with the rename] used 
these same args, so I just went with that.

bdev file operations would then need to use 
generic_atomic_write_valid_size(), and there is no unit_min and unit_max 
size there, apart from bdev awu min and max. And if I checked them, we 
would be duplicating checks (of awu min and max) in the block layer.

Cheers,
John
