I considered a number of options here. The VM wants things to be in pages.
The filesystem wants things to be in block size. The block device wants
things to be in sectors. It's all a mess when you try and converge.
Everybody understands bytes.
Here's what I've come up with on top of patch 4/22. Let me know what
you think.
