Linux exposes a separate limit, /sys/block/.../queue/max_segments, which
in the worst case can be more restrictive than BLKSECTGET (as they are
two different things). Similar to the BLKSECTGET story, guests don't see
this limit and send big requests will get -EINVAL error on SG_IO.
Lean on the safer side to clamp max_transfer according to max_segments
and page size, because in the end what host HBA gets is the mapped host
pages rather than a guest buffer.
