Here's a patch implementing Al's suggestion. Not quite as trivial as
Matthew's, but even nicer aesthetically. (Description stolen from
Matthew's patch). I have verified that this fixes my issue.

Shifting an unsigned char implicitly casts it to a signed int. This
caused 'lba' to sign-extend and Linux would then try READ CAPACITY 16
which was not supported by at least one drive. Using the
get_unaligned_be*() helpers keeps us from having to worry about how the
extension might occur.
