Using /sys/dev/block or /sys/dev/char seems easier, and lets you
retrieve the parameters for block devices too.

However, I'm worried of the consequences this has for migration.  You
could have the same physical disk accessed with two different HBAs, with
different limits.  So I don't know if this can really be solved at all.
