By the way, the drive I'm using to play with this now is only an 80GB drive.
Most newer drives are still capable of LBA48, even when they are small enough to not require it for sector addressing. If a large enough I/O (more than 256 sectors) is generated, then libata may use LBA48 to complete a request on such drives.
