Thanks.  The patch subject should use something like:

[PATCH] sd: Use the correct size to set block max sectors

to show what subsystem is being modified.

And style trivia:  it'd be more kernel style consistent as:

	if (...
	    sdkp->opt_xfer_blocks * sdp->sector_size >= PAGE_SIZE) {
		q->limits.io_opt = sdkp->opt_xfer_blocks * sdp->sector_size;
		rw_max = q->limits.io_opt >> 9;
	} else {
		rw_max = BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS;
	}

ie: no parentheses necessary around the shifted value and
    braces around both arms.
