Hi Paolo and everyone!
 
I used to have a patch series that was about to fix the block limits of the scsi-block,
which I think is similar to this patch series.
 
Sorry that I kind of forgot about it for too much time.

I'll need some time to swap-in this area so that I could compare our
patches to see if we missed something.
