This quirk fixes bug 503790 on launchpad where a user complained of having to
manually set the max sectors for a USB thumb drive to make it work. This small
quirk sets the sector size explicitly in the kernel code. This patch is tested
by the reporter of the bug. Do consider merging this for Lucid.

The Samsung YP-M1 does not work unless the following is done manually "echo
128 > /sys/block/sdb/device/max_sectors" as root. This quirk fixes having to
do this manually.
