It seems you are right. The per-target restrictions in dm_target->limits
are only used to create the restrictions for the whole table. My last
patch used this per-target restrictions though since it seemed useful.
The additional check I added  only needs the maximum hardsect size
anyway and only before the target gets added to the table so I could do
a quick walk of the target's devices there instead.
