Subject: [PATCH] Fix grub access to incomplete tracks
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:23:00 +0100

When we have a disk in our system that has an LBA count that exceeds the track
boundary limits, grub still tries to read all of the track into its buffer.

This fails for obvious reasons, but can be easily circumvented: Just cap the
amount of sectors we want to read to a sensible amount. That way we don't read
beyond the end of the disk and the buffer is filled with sensible data up to
the point where the higher layers should care about the data.
