write_same_max_bytes is 0, write same is not supported
by the device.
+What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/zoned
+Date: September 2016

+Description:
+ zoned indicates if the device is a zoned block device
+ and the zone model of the device if it is indeed zoned.
+ The possible values indicated by zoned are "none" for
+ regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed"
+ for zoned block devices. The characteristics of
+ host-aware and host-managed zoned block devices are
+ described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
+ (Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards
+ also define the "drive-managed" zone model. However,
+ since drive-managed zoned block devices do not support
+ zone commands, they will be treated as regular block
+ devices and zoned will report "none".
