Looks good, however remember that the tool is intended to be used by
the end user, can we be a bit more helpful ? We already know the
secsize it should be aligned to, so we can print that as well.

However it just occurred to me that aligning it to secsize is not
enough. It should be aligned to discard_granularity.

Thanks!
