The hpsa firmware will bypass the cache for any request larger
than 1MB, so we should cap the request size to avoid any
performance degradation in SLE12-SP2.

This degradation is caused from d2be537c3ba3568acd79cd178327b842e60d035e,
which changed max_sectors_kb to 1280k, but the hardware is able to
work fine with it, so the true fix should be from hpsa driver.
