So rqsize is only needed for DMA accesses?

PIO transfers are sector at a time, or multi-sector up to a usual limit
of about 16 sectors.

So again: rqsize does not matter for PIO transfer?

Looking at the lines

        if (hwif->no_lba48_dma && lba48 && dma) {
                if (block + rq->nr_sectors > 1ULL << 28)
                        dma = 0;
                else
                        lba48 = 0;
        }

in drivers/ide/ide-disk.c. Does that mean that 48bit LBA adressing using the
task_ioreg_t stuff is only used for sector numbers larger 1 << 28?

   If you're asking in general, no, that does not follow from that code.
   It only takes care of the no_lba48_dma case.
