You mean always splitting (multiples of) full super-pages from partial super-pages when the quirk flag is enabled? I think it depends on the performance numbers. Do you have any meaningful measurements without the quirk, with the current implementation and with the unbounded case? If the latter two are not much different on the toshiba card, that would be a simpler implementation, and more likely to be useful on other cards. I think we should also do measurements to see if the same quirk actually has any negative effects on other cards, or if there are even cases where it helps.
