Ah yes, you are right.

But consider the case where max_transfer_bytes is something like 8292
 (i.e., 8K + 100).  sg_tablesize will be calculated as 4, but it really only needs to
be 3 because max_sectors is the equivalent of 8K.

Here's an alternate approach that might be simpler.  Since any reasonable
Hyper-V configuration will provide a max_transfer_bytes value that is a
multiple of HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE, this approach doesn't change anything
but still protects against Hyper-V providing a weird value:

	u32 maxbytes;

	maxbytes = round_down(stor_device->max_transfer_bytes, HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE);
	host->max_sectors = maxbytes >> 9;
	host->sg_tablesize = (maxbytes >> HV_HYP_PAGE_SHIFT) + 1;
