ATA-8 defines two different methods for increasing the length of sectors. Long Physical Sectors increase the native sector size of the disc while pretending to the OS that sectors are still 512 bytes. Long Logical Sectors increase the length of the reported sector. This patch series adds support for both. It does not add support for non-power-of-2 sector sizes as they have not been fully specified yet.
