[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/5] ide: propagate the required alignment

[Christoph Hellwig]

IDE is a bit ugly in this respect.  For one it doesn't really keep track
of a sector size - most of the protocol is in units of 512 bytes, and we
assume 2048 bytes for CDROMs which is correct most of the time.

Second IDE allocates an I/O buffer long before we know if we're dealing
with a CDROM or not, so increase the alignment for the io_buffer
unconditionally.
