Hi, since commit dcebd755926b ("block: use bio_for_each_bvec() to compute multi-page bvec count"), the kernel will bug_on on the PS3 because bio_split() is called with sectors == 0: kernel BUG at block/bio.c:1853!

This makes get_max_segment_size() return zero when offset is zero, whatever the max segment size. The test with BLK_SEG_BOUNDARY_MASK fails and 'mask - (mask & offset) + 1' overflows to zero in the return statement. Not setting the segment boundary and using the default value (BLK_SEG_BOUNDARY_MASK) fixes the problem. Maybe BLK_SEG_BOUNDARY_MASK should be set to -1UL? It's currently set to only 0xFFFFFFFFUL. I don't know if that would break anything.
