This has a very high risk of breaking existing configs. "Specification allows" doesn't mean that real-world BIOSes actually react well to it. Some BIOS may read just reads 63 instead of 127 sectors and we end up with garbage in this case. I fill it shouldn't come into release. After it we can discuss. What can change my mind: 1) Proof that windows does such calls 2) Whitelist approach (but probably after release)
