On a system with large pages (64k in my case), the following BUG is
triggered in MMC core:
[ 2.338023] BUG: failure at drivers/mmc/core/core.c:221/mmc_start_request()!
[ 2.338102] Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

This is because of a 64k request with a max_req_size of 64k-1 bytes.
The following patch fixes the problem by limiting the max_blk_count
such that max_blk_count * max_blk_size == max_req_size. I couldn't
pursuade the compiler to emit a shift instead of a div without encoding
the shift explicitly.
