This patch moves blk_queue_max_segment_size to scsi_alloc_queue from
llds. It enables scsi_add_host to tells iommu lld's
dma_max_segment_size. If a low-level driver doesn't specify
dma_max_segment_size, scsi-ml uses 65536 (MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE). So there
are not any functional changes.

hmmmmm... All the patches look technically correct, but IMO this really should behave more the the dma_mask interface: platform sets a sane dma_mask (usually 0xffffffff), and LLDD calls dma_set_mask() or pci_set_dma_mask().

Thus, IMO an LLDD should call dma_set_max_seg(), and then SCSI midlayer can obtain that value from struct device.

Just like dma_mask, I think we can avoid a scsi_host_template addition.

I echo Jens sentiment, though, in closing: thanks for doing this work, it's been needed for quite a while.
