[PATCH v4 0/3] block: make BlockConf.*_size properties 32-bit

[Roman Kagan]

Devices (virtio-blk, scsi, etc.) and the block layer are happy to use
32-bit for logical_block_size, physical_block_size, and min_io_size.
However, the properties in BlockConf are defined as uint16_t limiting
the values to 32768.

This appears unnecessary tight, and we've seen bigger block sizes handy
at times.

Make them 32 bit instead and lift the limitation up to 2 MiB which
appears to be good enough for everybody, and matches the qcow2 cluster
size limit.

As the values can now be fairly big and awkward to type, make the
property setter accept common size suffixes (k, m).

While at this, introduce a few consistency checks on the blocksize-related
values in BlockConf, to prevent their silent truncation or rounding.

Also fix the accessor for opt_io_size in virtio-blk to make it consistent with
the size of the field, and thus synchronize virtio-blk and scsi in the way
opt_io_size is used.

History:
v3 -> v4:
- add patch to opt_io_size width
- add patch to perform consistency checks [Kevin]
- check min_io_size against truncation [Kevin]

v2 -> v3:
- mention qcow2 cluster size limit in the log and comment [Eric]

v1 -> v2:
- cap the property at 2 MiB [Eric]
- accept size suffixes

Roman Kagan (3):
  virtio-blk: store opt_io_size with correct size
  block: consolidate blocksize properties consistency checks
  block: make BlockConf.*_size properties 32-bit
