Why not whine only when an affected device is actually present?
That's sorta that I think...

That was me being lazy.  I'll just ban > LBA28 disks on the controller.

Sounds better to me... I certainly prefer that to clipping-to-1xxGB, especially given the shaky state of the overall driver.

I wonder if PIO works for LBA48 on that chipset (very, *very* likely).

Maybe just fall back to PIO for an LBA48 drive.
Or even better, fall back to PIO only for sectors beyond 128GB.

???

Or wait for a more stable driver..
