See my reply to Bart.

Also, it is not the driver's responsibility to do anything but export 
the hardware maximums.

It's up to the sysadmin to choose a disk scheduling policy they like, 
which implies that a _scheduler_, not each individual driver, should 
place policy limitations on max_sectors.
