- The ppc64 kernel uses a page size of 64kB but mksquashfs only
pads to a 4kB boundary. When we loopback mount a squashfs file
that isn't 64kB aligned and access the last sector of the
associated loopback device we see a stream of errors.
Disk partitioning tools seem to like accessing the last 512
bytes of partitions.
This should fix warnings seen during starting installation on
ppc64 and IA64
