A recent Xen commit [1] clarified the semantics of sector based quantities used in the blkif protocol such that it is now safe to create a xen-block device with a logical_block_size != 512, as long as the device only connects to a frontend advertizing 'feature-large-block-size'. This patch modifies xen-block accordingly. It also uses a stack variable for the BlockBackend in xen_block_realize() to avoid repeated dereferencing of the BlockConf pointer, and changes the parameters of xen_block_dataplane_create() so that the BlockBackend pointer and sector size are passed expicitly rather than implicitly via the BlockConf. These modifications have been tested against a recent Windows PV XENVBD driver [2] using a xen-disk device with a 4kB logical block size.
