We need to bound this to some maximum. I assume we'll at some point come across a controller
with crappy firmware that wont check this against the MBR Table size and the user will either
brick their drive or overwrite their data.

We can get the size of the MBR Table it seems but I'm not sure how hard it is to pull that table yet.

TCG SAS 5.7.3.6:
The size of the MBR Table is retrievable from the "Table" table of the SP that incorporates the Locking Template.

As always the TCG spec is super helpful /s.

I will see how todo this and if it's worth it.

 Please use a u64 here for the data and cast it to a pointer
 in the driver. We do this so we do not have to maintain a compat
 layer for 32 bit userland.
