Sorry I mistook the words "I wonder if we shouldn't reduce max_sectors permanently" as a disavowal of your cogent discussion:
We should let people who want more performance tweak the fragment size up
(to a reasonably large limit) if they want to try -- this could lead to
device failures or better performance. Letting people shoot themselves in
the foot is a long-standing tradition in Linux, but I don't want to leave
the 'non-power users' out in the cold.
