The argument "sector_t start_lba" is confusing me. Isn't a number either
a sector number or an LBA? Shouldn't that number be shifted right by
ilog2(sdp->sector_size) - 9 before storing it in the CDB?

Well. I've considered the 'lba' the native disk lba, and sector the
(logical) sector number from the block layer.
I was under the impression that this was the correct nomenclature here;
if not I'm happy to change it.

But yes, I should be adding a documentation to that function.

I've changed sd_zbc_report_zones() to use the sector number,
not the LBA. And added some documentation clarifying that.

Thanks for the review.

Cheers,

Hannes
