I have talked to  folks in the SSD world and the view seems to be

- bigger than 4K block size is not a concern because the real device is just
making up the disk block sizes anyway
- alignment according to the identify data is important (and is a matter for
fdisk etc)
- this isn't particularly likely to change

So I think we should just close this as WONTFIX. Anyone who cares sufficiently
and has a use case should instead submit patches.
