As you can see I am not including Host Managed in the
runt check.

Also you may note that in my patch to get Host Aware working
with the zone cache I do not include the runt zone in the cache.
So as it sits I need this fallback otherwise doing blkdiscard over
the whole device ends in a error, as well as mkfs.f2fs et. al.

Yeah, my brain is lazy about converting very large
numbers to powers of 2. So it's much easier to spot
zone alignment here.

I think that would be unfortunate for Host Managed but I think it's
the right choice for Host Aware at this time. So either we base
it on disk type or we have some other config flag added to sysfs.
