max_kb_per_request  has value 128 , but max is 127 !?

max for multcount is 8 , but my drive supports 16 sectors. ( see hdparm output below )
If I set multcount to 8 sectors ( hdparm -m 8 /dev/hdc ) 
then /proc/ide/hdc/settings will show :
multcount               4               0               8               rw

The values are divided by 2. Why ?


hdparm -i /dev/hdc  :

/dev/hdc:

 Model=IBM-DTLA-307045, FwRev=TX6OA60A, SerialNo=YMEYMML9342
 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }

 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=-66060037, LBA=yes, LBAsects=90069840
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 
 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 

IDE interface is VIA xxx686b ( ATA-100 )
IDE driver is VIA IDE v4.3
