Hi,
  a couple of time ago I sent some patches for supporting sector sizes
>512. Although I marked these patches as "initial" I don't see any
reason why they should be merged in. They just add some partial support
(no btrfs, windows or other stuff) but is better than today.

I noted also a bug resetting adv in extlinux. The problem is in
modify_existing_adv. If opt.reset_adv is set you don't initialize
filename so the next ext_write_adv will crash. Sorry to report only now.
