It is important in SCSI where you have many devices with different properties hooked up to the same controller. SCSI MTL is a recent addition. There wasn't much point in making a distinction between hw and dev outside of sd.c since it is the only device type that has a way to communicate a transfer limit.

I am still not sure exactly which problem it is you are trying to fix? -- Martin K.
