No I just spoted it, didn't fix it! The only problem that I can see is
that the blk_sizes is an array with the one dimention being the major
and the other the minor device number. This is probably a waist of data
segment in the case of ELKS. That is the only reason I can see, that
made the developers comment out the source the blk_sizes references.
