This "works" but it doesn't safeguard blk_stack_limits() and blk_validate_limits() from other drivers that weren't trained to (ab)use max_user_sectors to get blk_validate_limits() to preserve the underlying device's max_sectors. But I suppose we can worry about any other similar issues if/when reported. Please send a proper patch to Jens so we can get this fixed for 6.10-rc1. Thanks.
