The disk capacity code foolishly sets heads to 255, and then
ide_xlate_1024 decides that we already have chosen a translation,
so that it does not have to figure out what translation to use.

See:
if (xparm == 2) {
if (!heads ||
(drive->bios_head >= heads && drive->bios_sect == 63))
transl = 0;
}
if (xparm == -1) {
if (drive->bios_head > 16)
transl = 0; /* we already have a translation */
}
