Matt, ADV_SIZE is currently a constant value, but it may change in the future.
So it would need some care.

We probably will need to increase out to 4K because of newer drives.

Raphael, is there any way we could extract the ADV_SIZE value from
libinstaller/setadv.h and pass it to ldlinux_limit.pl? That would allow
things to keep working in future when we do upgrade to 4K.
