Support > 4 byte verify write patterns

This is the patch I have to write/read/verify hex patterns of size > 4
bytes.  I have tested these on hard drives and did not see any
performance change. I am assuming the performance drop if any might show
up in the read phase for probably solid state drives and maybe it can be
worked around using the asynchronous verify flag.
