BIOS supports LBA, however, the disk does not. I've tried to force it through
BIOS but it doesn't work. 

Regarding CHS, Linux supports it to this day and FreeBSD supported it for 20
years. It doesn't seem unreasonable to support the old disks with the modern
kernel. And judging by the old implementation it doesn't seem like a big
feature in terms of lines of code.
