It is expected that these class members will be set when the object is
created (so they're set in the class constructor method) and never
change again, as its the driver responsibility to find these values
before creating a StorageDevice object.
This makes it easier to rely on these values later on as we don't expect
them to ever change for a StorageDevice object during its lifetime.
We remove can_read() and can_write(), as both of these methods should be
implemented for proper blocking support.
For our case, the previous code will simply block the user if they tries
to read beyond the max addressable offset, which is not a correct
behavior.
Instead, just do proper EOF guarding when calling read() and write() on
such objects.
Add a method for matehmatical operations when verifying IO operation
boundaries.
Also, make max_addressable_block method non-virtual, since no other
derived class actually has ever overrided this method.
The Storage subsystem, like the Audio and HID subsystems, exposes Unix
device files (for example, in the /dev directory). To ensure consistency
across the repository, we should make the Storage subsystem to reside in
the Kernel/Devices directory like the two other mentioned subsystems.
