It is sector_t because we don't have an existing type that fits the bill
(i.e. >= sector_t and dependent on whether LBD is on or not). We're
trying to move away from counting in sectors because the notion is
confusing in the light of the logical vs. physical block size, device
alignment reporting, etc.
So maybe something like this?
block: Introduce blk_off_t
There are several places we want to communicate alignment and offsets in
bytes to avoid confusion with regards to underlying physical and logical
block sizes. Introduce blk_off_t for block device byte offsets.
