Kolbjørn and Jonáš reported that their 32-bit PowerMacs were crashing
in pata-macio since commit 09fe2bf ("ata: pata_macio: Fix
max_segment_size with PAGE_SIZE == 64K").
For example:
kernel BUG at drivers/ata/pata_macio.c:544!

That commit increased max_segment_size to 64KB, with the justification
that the SCSI core was already using that size when PAGE_SIZE == 64KB,
and that there was existing logic to split over-sized requests.
However with a sufficiently large request, the splitting logic causes
each sg to be split into two commands in the DMA table, leading to
overflow of the DMA table, triggering the BUG_ON().
With default settings the bug doesn't trigger, because the request size
is limited by max_sectors_kb == 1280, however max_sectors_kb can be
increased, and apparently some distros do that by default using udev
rules.
Fix the bug for 4KB kernels by reverting to the old max_segment_size.
For 64KB kernels the sg_tablesize needs to be halved, to allow for the
possibility that each sg will be split into two.
