The Slimtype DVD A  DS8A8SH drive locks up when max sector is smaller than
65535, and the blow backtrace is observed on locking up:

INFO: task flush-8:32:1130 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

 The above trace was triggered by
   "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=32768"

 It was previously working by accident, since another bug introduced
 by 4dce8ba9 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) caused
 all drives to use maxsect=65535.
