Subject: [PATCH] [libata] ahci: SB600 workaround is suspect... play it safe
for now
At least one report claims that a878539ef994787c447a98c2e3ba0fe3dad984ec
failed to solve lockups, whereas the old limit-to-32-bit trick worked.
Restore the 32-bit limit, but also leave the 255-sector limit in place,
because we know that's needed as well.
