Right. You can add a post_bfpt fixup hook for this flash. You can 
differentiate between the "K" version and the rest by the page size. Since the 
page size is tightly coupled with the sector size, you can amend both in the 
post_bfpt hook.

I dropped it. You should try to fix it, I can guide you if needed. Or I can do 
it myself, but I'll need some help from you at testing.
