Make sense.

The block_size is the granularity used to track the private/shared
attribute in the bitmap. It is currently hardcoded to 4K as guest_memfd
may manipulate the page conversion in at least 4K size and alignment.
I think It is somewhat a variable to cache the size and can avoid many
getpagesize() calls.
