SubjectRe: [PATCH] Better names for EDD legacy_* fields

In my defense, I barely even thought about the cylinder count. I only
included it for completeness... It is meaningless on drives larger
than 8G, and even on older/smaller drives, it is kind of bogus.
According to <http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-0621.htm>:

The maximum cylinder number reported in CX is usually two less
than the total cylinder count reported in the fixed disk parameter
table (see INT 41h,INT 46h) because early hard disks used the last
cylinder for testing purposes; however, on some Zenith machines,
the maximum cylinder number reportedly is three less than the
count in the fixed disk parameter table.

So it is not "one less", but often two or three...

Nevertheless, you are correct. Revised trivial search&replace patch
attached.
