Hmm.  Well.  Seems to work out at least for linux, i.e. it figures it 
got a bunch of sectors and tries to continue.  Linux logs an I/O error. 
  Also I didn't try other guests (yet).

Using that as a way to limit scsi-disk request sizes probably isn't a 
good idea.  For scsi-generic that would be a improvement over the 
current situation though.

cheers,
