    Subject[ 14/59] cciss: Initialize scsi host max_sectors for tape drive support
    3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: "Stephen M. Cameron" <scameron@beardog.cce.hp.com>

    commit 395d287526bb60411ff37b19ad9dd38b58ba8732 upstream.

    The default is too small (1024 blocks), use h->cciss_max_sectors (8192 blocks)
    Without this change, if you try to set the block size of a tape drive above
    512*1024, via "mt -f /dev/st0 setblk nnn" where nnn is greater than 524288,
    it won't work right.
