Hello there,

This patch adds write support to the overlapping boot sector used by
the -kernel command line option.

Without the patch, guests booted with -kernel will fail updating boot
sector. This results in a fdisk that is unable to update the partition
table in the running kernel, but is able to write the correct boot
sector to disk.

Please apply.
