I'm unconvinced this (block_len % 512) works right...
imagine you have 2 ntbs back to back (for example 400 + 624) that
together add up to 1024,
and then a padding null byte.
I think block_len will be 624 then and not 1024.
perhaps this actually needs to be:
(ntp_ptr + block_len - skb->data) % 512 == 0
The point is that AFAICT the multiple of 512/1024 that matters is in
the size of the USB transfer,
not the NTB block size itself.

note that ntb_ptr moves forward by block_len here,
so it's *not* always the start of the packet, so block_len is not
necessarily the actual on the wire size.

But it would perhaps be worth confirming in the MS driver source what
exactly they're doing...
(maybe they never even generate multiple ntbs per usb segment...)
You may also want to mention in the commit message that 512 comes from
USB2 block size, and also works for USB3 block size of 1024.
