Andrew, with a slight mod to your driver, and using James's patch
to issue larger requests, I was able to issue 4MB requests to a
device (256 SG entries times 16KB page size) on our Itanium box.
Some H/W RAIDs have a strong preference for really large requests.
Your plan to switch to the midlayer throttling mechanism sounds good.
