I doubt it, but I don't know for sure.

There are two issues:

1) There is already an ATA command to report both physical and logical
   sector sizes, but the disk lies - it always reports 512/512.

2) The disk may have already been formatted on a system that doesn't
   support 4k sectors, and may contain unaligned partitions and file
   systems, which won't be visible if we forcibly and unconditionally
   use 4k sectors.
