foominphys(). But it's only called for raw disk I/O I think. Block I/O
(especially filesystems) take another path, and are limited only by
the MAXPHYS constant.

I think it should be possible to remplace the MAXPHYS constant with a
per-device variable (in struct dkdriver() maybe) and get ride of the
foominphys() function at all.
I did (partially) such a thing once but I'm not sure how it'll work now with
UBC.
