bs->buffer_alignment is set by the device emulation and contains the logical block size of the guest device. This isn't something that the block layer should know, and even less something to use for determining the right alignment of buffers to be used for the host. The new BlockLimits field opt_mem_alignment tells the qemu block layer the optimal alignment to be used so that no bounce buffer must be used in the driver. This patch may change the buffer alignment from 4k to 512 for all callers that used qemu_blockalign() with the top-level image format BlockDriverState. The value was never propagated to other levels in the tree, so in particular raw-posix never required anything else than 512. While on disks with 4k sectors direct I/O requires a 4k alignment, memory may still be okay when aligned to 512 byte boundaries. This is what must have happened in practice, because otherwise this would already have failed earlier. Therefore I don't expect regressions even with this intermediate state. Later, raw-posix can implement the hook and expose a different memory alignment requirement.
