In cases of ATA and CAM infrastructures it was is so, that if driver
does not sets max_iosize or maxio respectively, it uses DFLTPHYS. So
problem is only about non-ATA/CAM RAIDs or cases where wrong value could
be specified explicitly.

ciss(4) driver was explicitly limited to 64K, until somebody could
review it's capabilities.
