Actually that's what we assumed in our current code that forms the DSM
command as well. See how (hob_)feature for queued TRIM and how
(hob_)nsect for non-queued TRIM are set in ata_scsi_write_same_xlat in
libata-scsi ('size / 512').
So if you are going to increase the payload block size per logical
sector size (in other word, you assume that the payload block size is
_expected_ to be the logical block size, in spite of what ACS told,
you'll need to adjust how the aforementioned fields in the ATA
taskfile are set as well.
