Ok, although that results in client code having to deal with multiple logical
block sizes. The transition from 512 to 4k has been sufficiently involved and
lengthy that introduction of yet another logical block size in the foreseeable
future seems rather unlikely. I'm ok with either approach.

- Yes, making 4k alignment a MUST would be a fine thing to do now.
Can we converge on a MUST for the device logical block size, be that
512, 4k or any other value that might happen in the future?
