Ah, sorry. I'd switched back to .30 for the arm system because of this.
(And on the s390 box I looked for sda instead of dasdb; duh!)

Here are the values for arm:

$ cat /sys/block/sda/sda6/alignment_offset
0
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/physical_block_size
512
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/logical_block_size
512

And here's the lot for the s390 emulator:

# grep . /sys/block/dasdb/dasdb*/alignment_offset
/sys/block/dasdb/dasdb1/alignment_offset:0
/sys/block/dasdb/dasdb2/alignment_offset:0
# grep . /sys/block/dasdb/queue/physical_block_size
4096
# grep . /sys/block/dasdb/queue/logical_block_size
4096
