The old ps3_storage driver did not support DOS geometry, so there is no
point to start adding code for it.

That's not quite true.  sd applies some heuristics  and has a default
geometry if there is no ->bios_param method.  Then again this whole
gemetry thing really only makes sense on x86.

Would it make sense to have a default implementation in block/ioctl.c?
