My only concern was confusing people who are reading the code where they
might implicitly assume that it can only be po2 as we have shift_sects.

Even though I am not sure if this optimization will directly add value
looking at my experiments with the current change, I can fold this in
with a comment on top of zone_size_sect_shifts variable stating that
size can be npo2 and this variable is only meaningful for the po2 size
scenario.
