Other than adding the patch and rebuilding the kernel and testing regular stuff, which I had to do anyway, that was the extent of testing.
I did not see where it was used to be honest other than adding the structure member.
I wanted to test the simple change because it was in scsi_lib.c which has many dependencies of course.

Hello Christoph,
The value zero has another meaning for Scsi_Host.max_segment_size than
for queue_limits.max_segment_size. Shouldn't that be documented somewhere?
Thanks,
Bart.
