I seem to recall you saying, at some point, that scatter-gather may now be
reliable enough for ub to use; could that at least bring performance up to
usable levels, even if it doesn't fix this?  (I can't find where you might
have said that, though, so I might be imagining things.)

(I can't even offer people a workaround by reformatting their device: mkdosfs
will happily use a 4k block size with FAT, but Windows, knowing best, simply
ignores all such requests.  Not that I'd be keen on giving players instructions
that involve formatting devices, anyway ...)
