Ok. That makes sense, and it should be pretty straight forward to do that.

To be honest, I tested my patches in QEMU with 4k Logical block size and on
a device with 4k LBA size.

I did a quick test with 512B LBA size in QEMU, and I didn't see any
failures when I ran my normal test suite.

Do you see any problem with exposing the same LBA as the underlying device?

BLKREPORTZONE ioctl is typically used to get the zone information from a
zoned block device, which should expose the npo2 zone sectors(zone
capacity) in this case.

But I do see the value of exposing the dmh->zone_size instead of
dmh->zone_size_po2 as the latter can be easily calculated from the former
or it can be retrieved by reading the chunk_sectors. I will fix that up.
