Here cryptsetup-reencrypt is in principle simple program, it reads a "block"
and write it back to device with new encryption parameters (and optionally with
some different offset). So block here is meant as an unit which is handled in one
reencryption step.
(But the real atomic unit of encryption is still 512B block of course.)

There is no requirement this block to be aligned to underlying hw alignment
(but if it is misaligned, the same performance degradation problems apply of course).
