[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 0/3] add 4kn support

This patchset adds support for installing on 4kn disks.

The catchy part for me was the neccessary parameter -s1 for mkfs.vfat
(the installer ran through, but ovmf (and I guess many UEFI implementations
out there) did not boot from the esp.

Points I'm not too sure about:
* should we still create an empty 1M partition on 4k disks (we cannot use it
  to install grub with target i386 anyways) for more consistency in `lsblk`
  outputs and the like
* should we still install grub with target i386 on 512b sector disks in
  setups that mix 4kn and 512e disks?

Feedback welcome!
