I don't remember the details, but I think when I went through all
drivers, I couldn't convince myself that a reasonable block size is
enforced somewhere. So I just went ahead and converted the call to be on

Right, that one I missed because it doesn't directly use g_malloc().
Your proposal sounds good to me. Are you going to prepare a patch?
