The block descriptor contains the number of blocks, not the highest LBA.
Real hard disks return 0 if the number of blocks exceed the maximum 0xFFFFFF.

SCSI-Spec:
http://ldkelley.com/SCSI2/SCSI2/SCSI2-08.html#8.3.3
The number of blocks field specifies the number of logical blocks on the medium
to which the density code and block length fields apply. A value of zero
indicates that all of the remaining logical blocks of the logical unit shall
have the medium characteristics specified.

The patch itself looks okay. However, it made me wonder what this line
wants to tell us:

    if ((~dbd) & nb_sectors) {

Is it just me or doesn't this make any sense at all? dbd is a single
bit, 0x8 if set or 0x0 otherwise. nb_sectors is the number of sectors.
Can this operation have any meaningful result? I suppose it was meant to
be something like:

    if (!dbd && nb_sectors) {

Can you please check this and add a patch 5/4 if necessary?

For my opinion it is nonsense too. And it does not work. I tested it:

I will add a patch 5/5 in v2 as you proposed.
