But when it is we can optimize that. All we need is add a "zone_size_sect_shift"
field that is initialized when zone_size_sects is set when the device is
created. Then, you can have code like:

	if (dev->zone_size_sect_shift))
		return sect >> dev->zone_size_sect_shift;

Which avoids both is_power_of_2() and ilog2() calls for every IO.
