Remove sector 0 write protection from the ATA and MMC drivers. The one in the ATA driver makes it impossible to change sector 0 from within rockbox USB mode, and nobody reported having seen that sector 0 panic for a loong time. Afaik it dates back to when ATA and filesystem write support were developed.
