drivers/block/sx8: several minor changes
* Newer hardware doesn't corrupt data when the queue depth
is greater than one. Rather than force the user to recompile
with a greater queue depth, make it a module parameter.
* update copyright date
* add MODULE_VERSION()
* trim trailing whitespace
* move CARM_SG_BOUNDARY to a separate enum, since its unsigned long
* bump to version 1.0
