This adds a number of new granularities in a rather inelegant way.
Until we figure out how to better handle various granularities this has
to be accepted.

It also refactors the handling of n-byte granularities by extracting the
checking code into a helper function which reduces the pain of the above
significantly.

This is one possibility to solve the granularity issue and i think the
most likely to get the patch series in fastest...
