Yes, I know I can't change page size. So I said "for sure the consistency
of test result, I repair pgsize(already not real page size) number according
to the new blksize." in git commit message.

Eric said in xfs/194 "Test mapping around/over holes for sub-page blocks",
If the sector size = page size, I have no idea how to make sub-page blocks.
So in this situation, I set pgsize=`expr $blksize \* 8` just for the test
output suit for 194.out.

Or we don't care pgsize, just set blksize=`_min_dio_alignment $SCRATCH_DEV`,
and then replace all $pgsize to `expr $blksize \* 8`. If page size > blksize,
that's good. If not, we can't do more things about that, so just make it run pass.

What do you think about loop device? If page size(4k) = sector size(4k), how
about use loop device? I think it will be 512 sector size as default?
