ata: pata_macio: Fix max_segment_size with PAGE_SIZE == 64K
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: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 26 at block/blk-settings.c:202 .blk_validate_limits+0x2f8/0x35c CPU: 0 PID: 26 Comm: kworker/u4:1 Not tainted 6.10.0-rc1 #1 Hardware name: PowerMac7,2 PPC970 0x390202 PowerMac ...

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.
