[ATA] Increase lba48 max-sectors from 200 to 256.
So was it for LBA28 or for LBA48?
As for LBA28, it might be quite dangerous. Particularly, I know that
IBM drives used to mistreated 256 as 0 in the past (bumped into that on
a 8-year old drive which is still alive though).
That's a typo. The first description ("lba28") is correct.
Let me know if your IBM drive has problems with current
libata-dev.git#upstream...
