The Xen blkif protocol requires that sector based quantities should be
interpreted strictly as multiples of 512 bytes. Specifically:
"first_sect and last_sect in blkif_request_segment, as well as
sector_number in blkif_request, are always expressed in 512-byte units."
Commit fcab2b464e06 "xen: add header and build dataplane/xen-block.c"
incorrectly modified behaviour to use the block device logical_block_size
property as the scale, instead of correctly shifting values by the
hardcoded BDRV_SECTOR_BITS (and hence scaling them to 512 byte units).
This patch undoes that change and restores compliance with the spec.
Furthermore, this patch also restores the original xen_disk behaviour
of advertizing a hardcoded 'sector-size' value of 512 in xenstore and
scaling 'sectors' accordingly. The realize() method is also modified to
fail if logical_block_size is set to anything other than 512.
