Subject[PATCH] correct - I hope - check for HPA and LBA48
I remember that it is necessary to check whether the words
containing the HPA and LBA48 bits are valid before looking
at these bits. This improves things for at least one disk.
But there is much buggy hardware out there - this may also
break some things. Not to be applied (yet) to stable kernels.
