+FAT32 appears to be broken when used with the -d option to populate the msdos
+image. This disables the FAT32 autoselection code which means we don't get
+broken images with the -d option. It can still be enabled on the commandline
+at the users own risk. This changes us back to the 2.10 version's behaviour
+which was known to work well even with large images.

+Upstream Status: Inapprioriate [depends on other patches we apply]
