Re: [dm-devel] [PATCH 1/3] block: Add blk_queue_copy_limits()

I'm really not keen on perpetuating SAFE_MAX_SECTORS for something that
was written in this millennium.

I'd much rather we just do this, then:

block: Set max_sectors correctly for stacking devices

The topology changes unintentionally caused SAFE_MAX_SECTORS to be set
for stacking devices.  Set the default limit to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS and
provide SAFE_MAX_SECTORS in blk_queue_make_request() for legacy hw
drivers that depend on the old behavior.
