Ah, I think I am understanding now. When the sector size is 4K the
minimum page sent with WRITE SAME will be 4K.

If so, we also need to fix the write_same SATL code that is working
under the assumption of a 512 byte sector sector as the largest
guaranteed amount of data in the associated sg pages.
Keying off of sector_size should be straight forward there...
