MAXPHYS is ultimately a limitation on the size of the b_pages array in
the struct buf structure. The default is 128 KBytes. Device Drivers are
supposed to break up I/O's into manageable sections themselves.
Maybe when the buffer I/O / VFS subsystem is rewritten later this year
we can get rid of the artificial limitations.
