Hi all (again), So setting it to PAGE_SIZE caused it to panic the kernel on the server that had the tape drives, but only during specific operations. So I've revised and tested having it simply return zero. And that works perfectly. Possibly getting that added as a fix, if it doesn't already exist would be great.
