Subject: [PATCH 3.2 097/164] sd: Disable support for 256 byte/sector disks

3.2.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mark Hounschell <dmarkh@....rr.com>

commit 74856fbf441929918c49ff262ace9835048e4e6a upstream.

256 bytes per sector support has been broken since 2.6.X,
and no-one stepped up to fix this.
So disable support for it.
