Syslinux - Feb 2013 - Syncying and upstreaming 4k sector patches

Hi,
  time ago I started doing support for 4k sector disk for syslinux.

Patches worked for my cases (ext) and did not introduced regression
problems with normal disks. Now I would like to update these patches and
upstream them. It's not clear however which is the branch I should use
to rebase these patches. Previous patches was against syslinux-4.06 but
now there is syslinux-5.01 (elflink) and syslinux-6.00-pre4 (firmware).

If you could rebase your patches against the elflink branch that would
be helpful. Thanks!

Upstreaming for 5.0x would be the right thing.
