This patchset increases the SCSI mid level's limitation for max_sectors
upto the block layer's limitation for max_hw_sectors, and enables the
scsi_debug driver to request read/write commands with huge transfer
length.  This also includes a few fixes for the problems which can be
caused by huge max_sectors.

* Changes in v2
- Add Reviewed-by line
- Split the scsi core change into three patches, suggested by Christoph Hellwig
- Reorder conditional in command selection, suggested by Elliott, Robert

Akinobu Mita (6):
  block: fix BLKSECTGET ioctl when max_sectors is greater than USHRT_MAX
  block: fix SG_[GS]ET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctl when max_sectors is huge
  sg: prevent integer overflow when converting from sectors to bytes
  sd: use READ_16 or WRITE_16 when transfer length is greater than
    0xffff
  scsi: increase upper limit for max_sectors
  scsi_debug: allow huge transfer length for read/write commands
