I think all of the changes you mentioned will be included in 2.6.6-final, including others (such as automatically setting max_sectors to 128 when a Genesys interface is encountered). Unhappily, we've never managed to find a way to make Genesys devices work reliably at high speed. They seem to have some internal timing-related problem, related to the way the interface communicates with the disk drive. We don't know what it is or how to work around it.
