Since max_pio is a module argument it may be invalid. Perhaps:
if (0 <= max_pio && max_pio <= 4)
return (1 << max_pio) - 1;
else
return 0x01;
Or is it common to trust the module arguments to be sane?

I now see that things can get messed up. I can alter the hardware so that a
seperate SMC memory space for data and register transfer can be used, each
with their respective timing set at all times. This will cost one extra chip
select pin and an AND port on the adaptor, but it might be worth it?
