The max_phys_sect variable is defined as a char. We do a boundary check
to maximally allow 256 physical page descriptors per command. As we are
not indexing from zero. This expression is always in false. Bump the
max_phys_sect to an unsigned short to support the range check.

s/unsigned short/unsigned int. RIght?

You're right. It has been fixed.
