Guests use this number as a hint for alignment and I/O request sizes. Given
that modern disks have 4K block sizes, and cached file-backed images also
have 4K block sizes, this hint can improve guest performance.
We probably need to make this configurable depending on machine type. It
should be the default for -M 0.13 only as it can affect guest code paths.
