As discussed in LSF, add configure option for the interface and mark it
as experimental, so people can try/test.

+       Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best
+       effort limit to prioritize cgroups. Depending on the setting, the limit
+       can be used to protect cgroups in terms of bandwidth/iops and better
+       utilize disk resource.

+       Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.
