The max_sectors thing will work under 2.4 as well. You have to find the
section in scsiglue.c where usb_stor_host_template is defined (search for
"sg_tablesize"), and add a line that says:
max_sectors: 128,
The slight difference in formatting from the 2.6 patch is the result of a
change in programming style since 2.4 came out.
