Sure:

But Peter defined it like this:
#define BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_SECTORS MIN(SIZE_MAX >> BDRV_SECTOR_BITS, \
INT_MAX >> BDRV_SECTOR_BITS)
And having integers with more the 32 bits is at least unusual. I don't
know of any platform that has them.
Anyway, as I said, your patch is good documentation, so I'm happy to
apply it nevertheless.
