Please do that in the driver for the HW that benefits from it. Do not do this
for all block devices.

Hmm ... is it ever useful to build a bio with a size that exceeds
max_hw_sectors when submitting a bio directly to a block device, or in
other words, if no stacked block driver sits between the submitter and
the block device? Am I perhaps missing something?
Thanks,
