We have actually been working hard to take advantage of the information that
these drives export so hopefully this will all work in f13 to make sure that we
align partitions and do IO in sizes supported by the drive (i.e., 4KB for these
drives).
There is still work to do to support drives that don't emulate 512 byte sectors
for boot partitions...
