In short, the drive presents its LBA addressing based on 512B sectors.
The kernel can't choose to ignore that--it's stuck with it. Since the
drive is presenting LBA based on 512B sectors, there is no way the
kernel can address LBA based on 4K sectors.

Storage - The H Open Source: News and Features
Numerous changes to the network and storage code are to increase
processing speed and improve the system's hardware support. Among the
new additions are a PPTP stack, various drivers for Wi-Fi hardware by
Atheros, Broadcom and Realtek, and code for hard disks with a logical
sector size of 4 Kbytes

Now, when will stable release have a 2.6.37 kernel? And are all those
changes "non-free" -- so to be included in "supported" versions of Debian?
