ata: pata_macio: Fix max_segment_size with PAGE_SIZE == 64K

Browse Source 
The pata_macio driver advertises a max_segment_size of 0xff00, because
the hardware doesn't cope with requests >= 64K.

However the SCSI core requires max_segment_size to be at least
PAGE_SIZE, which is a problem for pata_macio when the kernel is built
with 64K pages.

In older kernels the SCSI core would just increase the segment size to
be equal to PAGE_SIZE, however since the commit tagged below it causes a
warning and the device fails to probe:

  scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured

Although the hardware can't cope with a 64K segment, the driver
already deals with that internally by splitting large requests in
pata_macio_qc_prep(). That is how the driver has managed to function
until now on 64K kernels.

So fix the driver to advertise a max_segment_size of 64K, which avoids
the warning and keeps the SCSI core happy.
