    MAXPHYS is ultimately a limitation on the size of the b_pages array in
    the struct buf structure.  The default is 128 KBytes.  Device Drivers are 
    supposed to break up I/O's into manageable sections themselves.

    Maybe when the buffer I/O / VFS subsystem is rewritten later this year
    we can get rid of the artificial limitations.
